Former Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Gina Swoboda has officially entered the 2026 election to become the next Secretary of State.
Swoboda recently stepped down as chair of the state party to focus on her campaign in Congressional District 1. But, earlier this month, she expressed an interest in switching races to run for Secretary of State.
She made those plans official on Friday.
“That’s where my heart has always been and I’ve missed the office every day since I left in August of 2020,” said Swoboda.
