Businessman launches independent run for Arizona governor
Feb. 2
A businessman is aiming to become the first independent in Arizona history to win the state’s highest office. Hugh Lytle officially launched his campaign for governor under the newly rebranded Arizona Independent Party.
The self-described “political disruptor” could pose a challenge for Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is counting on independent voters in her bid for reelection, especially after winning by just 17,000 votes in 2022.
She will likely face Lytle and the winner of the crowded Republican primary.
