Republican Karrin Taylor Robson has suspended her campaign for Arizona governor.
Taylor Robson made the announcement Thursday. In a statement on her social media accounts, KTR said "after deep reflection, prayer and many conversations with my family, I have decided to suspend my campaign for Governor."
Taylor Robson said she did not want a contentious Republican primary race. Her exit leaves congressmen Andy Biggs and David Schweikert and candidate Scott Neely as the only challengers for Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
Hobbs campaign manager Nicole DeMont released the following statement: "Karrin Taylor Robson saw the writing on the wall and knows that Gov. Katie Hobbs is going to win re-election because of her bipartisan record of lowering costs, securing the border and protecting healthcare. No matter who emerges from this chaotic primary, we will stay focused on building a winning coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who believe in putting Arizona first."
