This is going to a very interesting election in AZ - Senate seat needs a Kelly removed, some tough competition and tougher advertising on the Guv contest, Congressional seat or two hotly contested and some nasty negative advertising there, too.
We need the best folks to come out on top and to then DO what they say they will do. Forget the politically hungry ones.

My opinion is that it's going to be a very tight race between Robson & Lake. Robson seems to be outspending Lake on flyers, and local advertising.

BY KEVIN STONE KTAR.com PHOENIX — Karrin Taylor Robson spent about $9 million more than Kari Lake from April to June as Arizona’s Republican gubernatorial primary race heated up, according to campaign finance reports.
Taylor Robson reported spending about $10.4 million while Lake listed approximately $1.4 million in their second-quarter campaign finance reports, which were due to the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office by last Friday.
However, Lake entered the final month of the race with more cash on hand — $400,000-$91,000 — and the polling lead despite Taylor Robson pouring millions of her own money into the race.
Taylor Robson loaned her campaign $9.4 million from April to June while, putting her self-funding total at more than $13 million. She also raised $723,000 in individual contributions and $5,750 from political action committees.
Lake, meanwhile, took in $1.1 million in contributions in the second quarter and hasn’t used loans to support her run.
Statewide and legislative candidates have until Saturday to file their final finance reports (covering July 1-16) before the Aug. 2 primary election.
Voters will have the final word on whether Taylor Robson’s investment was worthwhile. Polls have shown her gaining ground since April — but not by much, even with the withdrawal of former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon from the race and his ensuing endorsement.
Lake has been the front-runner throughout the race, boosted by her name recognition as a longtime local news anchor and an early endorsement from former President Donald Trump last year.
Lake’s lead was 7 percentage points, 29%-22%, in an OH Predictive Insights poll of likely Republican primary voters conducted in early April. Both candidates picked up support as Election Day drew closer, with Taylor Robson pulling 2 points closer, to 40%-35%, in polling conducted days before the July 6 start of early voting and shortly after Salmon dropped out. The latest poll also showed 21% still unsure about their preference.
Taylor Robson entered the race as a relatively unknown housing developer and member of the Arizona Board of Regents, the appointed body that governs the state’s three public university.
She has used her family’s wealth to help boost her profile. Her husband, 91-year-old Ed Robson, amassed a fortune building master-planned retirement communities.
Taylor Robson also has picked up a string of high-profile endorsers, including Vice President Mike Pence and the man she wants to succeed, term-limited Gov. Doug Ducey.

So this Robson lady is 56/57 years old or so, with a 91 year old husband?
Has spent $9.4 million from April to June of her own money (can't get any from the voters?)
Does anyone there think a gold digger like that will represent the interests of the general public?
Sheesh.

The Robsons’ are freaking loaded. Developed retirement communities all over the place. She’s saying the right things, but just doesn’t seem aggressive enough to fight. Comes across as someone that would reach across the aisle and shake hands to keep the peace.
Lake has my vote.

I hope Lake isn't all talk and playing to the Trump contingent for votes.

Kent Same here but why would anyone spend millions of dollars of their own money to become governor. Besides, if Pence endorses her, I will not vote for her.

(Lobbyist for the Developers Industry down the line?) She's young enough to run for Senate if she wins the goobernor's seat too. I'm not betting against the Repub Establishment having told her to put up her own cash to see how loyal she is, and they'll throw the heavyweights (Pence, Doucy) in to back her. If she gets in, they've got a stooge. If she loses their coffers ain't out much and they can use the money to get more RINO's elected in other places.

Did that rescheduled Trump rally come off or was it postponed again?

The Trump Rally was packed. People waited all day in 100+ heat to get in. Kari Lake was there. She is well known in Arizona for her previous job as newscaster on channel 10 Phoenix. Reportedly 20 points ahead of Robson, the RINO POS. The 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and the only one talking about it is Lake. I’m afraid it will happen again.

Sad state of affairs when we talk about winning to terms of money spent.
Sadly, a gold digger would fit right into state/national politics.
Someone send a ballet to me here in Minn. I'm going to vote for Lake.

Even though I get 1 or 2 flyers from Robson a day in the mail, I don't waste any time giving her any credibility. Lake will be the Republican candidate.
It's Lake against Hobbs in the general election.

When it comes to Arizona demographics...never forget that there is a significant population of old f...ks like myself who came from someplace wet and cold, with the intent to die where it's warm and dry. They never did participate in the real Arizona economy, schools, business. They get direct deposit, they watch MSM news (and believe it), go to the doctor, the post office and grocery store, that is their 'life'. How do I know these things? I am related to several of them. This election will be influenced heavily by them, God help us.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Let's see.........
Taylor-Robson.. lawyer, ass shot full of nickles, husband has one foot on a banana peel, supportd by Douchey and all the rinos, comes from a very well connected political family, supported by Pence.
Kari Lake.. endorsed by the real President, Donald Trump, hates Katie Hobbs, she is a former democrat, was "suspended" in her former job as a news anchor twice for telling the truth, says that the Jan. 6 "trial" is a sham.
Pretty sure I know who I'll vote for.

Lake will likely be the general candidate.
When she quit her job as a newscaster she said she was tired of having to tell the lies.
