DGA Statement on David Schweikert Running for Governor in Arizona

DGA Communications Director Sam Newton released the following statement in response to David Schweikert running for governor in Arizona on the brink of a government shutdown:

"David Schweikert's entrance into the Arizona governor's race confirms that the GOP primary is only going to be even nastier, more extreme, and more expensive. Schweikert has spent his time in Congress voting to gut Social Security and slash health care to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, supporting an extreme abortion ban, and pushing to overturn the 2020 election - all while illegally funding lavish Super Bowl trips and his own personal expenses with taxpayer funding.

"Whether it's Karrin Taylor Robson, Andy Biggs, or David Schweikert, the entire field of GOP candidates share the same extreme agenda that would make life worse for Arizonans. In contrast, Governor Katie Hobbs has worked across the aisle to lower costs, keep families safe, create jobs, and secure the border - that's exactly why she'll beat whoever survives this chaotic Republican primary."
