Karrin Taylor Robson Suspends Campaign for Governor

After deep reflection, prayer, and many conversations with my family, I have decided to suspend my campaign for Governor.

This decision was not an easy one. I love Arizona deeply. It is the greatest state in our country, and I would do anything to protect it from the growing radicalism of the left.

I am truly humbled and grateful for the volunteers across our state and the tens of thousands of Arizonans who supported our campaign because they believe, as I do, that Arizona deserves strong conservative leadership, economic freedom, and a government that works for the people.

Together, we built a strong, serious, and grassroots-led campaign. We completed more than 300 campaign stops across Arizona, visited all 15 counties, earned the support of over 11,000 donors, collected over 11,000 petition signatures, and build one of the strongest fundraising operations in Arizona's history. I am proud of what our team accomplished and deeply grateful for the Arizonans who stepped up to support our efforts.

But we cannot afford a divisive Republican primary that drains resources and turns into months of intraparty attacks. It only weakens our conservative cause and gives the left exactly what they want: a fractured Republican Party heading in November. With so much on the line in 2026, I am not willing to contribute to that outcome.

While I am stepping back from this race, I am not stepping back from the fight for Arizona's future.

I encourage my supporters to stay engaged, stay involved, and stay focused on the mission ahead. Arizona is worth fighting for, and this election will determine the direction of our state for years to come. 

I remain committed to helping Republicans win in 2026 and to ensuring Arizona remains strong, safe, and free for generations to come.

With gratitude,
Karrin Taylor Robson

In Arizona election news: Karrin Taylor Robson has dropped out of the governor's race. That leaves U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs and U.S. Rep. David Schweikert in the Republican primary.

I don't even have the words to describe how bananas good the U.S. women's hockey team is. Team USA just looks unstoppable.

Gov. Katie Hobbs spoke soon after Senate Democrats spoke on the Senate lawn, backing Attorney General Kris Mayes. “I think her comments were inappropriate, and she should retract them,” Hobbs said.

AZ Senate calls on Mayes to resign; Hobbs calls AG's comments 'inappropriate' The state Senate passed a measure calling on Attorney General Kris Mayes to resign over remarks about ICE and Arizona's Stand Your Ground law — comments Gov. Katie Hobbs said Mayes should retract.

Yesterday, the AZ Senate passed a resolution calling on @azagmayes.bsky.social to resign over her comments that an Arizonan could shoot federal immigration agents if they forcibly enter a home without a warrant. Gov. Katie Hobbs said Mayes should retract her remarks:

We are better than this. We can enforce our laws without this chaos and federal agents killing people in the streets.
I'm going to do everything I can to stop Trump's deployment of federal law enforcement against American cities. That starts with voting no on DHS's budget this week.

Breaking into homes without warrants. Racial profiling. Arresting American citizens. ICE is no longer enforcing the law. They're breaking it. I will not vote to give this goon squad more taxpayer money to terrorize our communities.

Both of Arizona’s senators, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov are a “no” on DHS funding.

I racked up -9.4, and I’m now 16 points behind for the week, but I could not be more thrilled!

I’m so thrilled with this win, I’m not even mad about the negative points in fantasy (I have Blackwood in two leagues. Whoops)

ICE agents have detained Native Americans in Arizona and Minnesota. Sen. Mark Kelly tells me he’s working with local officials to help tribal members who may not have documents like birth certificates. But even people with documents have been detained.

I was so certain with every penalty that it must be the end. What a win for the Flyers after the last couple of weeks

One of my VGK friends is blaming me for this. And, well, TK is my favorite player so, maybe?

So this is a lot of penalties

Zach Whitecloud was my last favorite VGK player. Everyone whose jersey I have bought has been traded/not re-signed. If anyone wonders why I talk about the Flyers more these days — even when they are extremely bad — it’s because the Golden Knights are just so very hard to love as a fan.

Short of getting another goaltender, it feels like this slide is it. And I’m not convinced this season is worth spending on a goalie tbh
