Arizona businessman Steve Gaynor announced Friday that he is joining the Republican primary for governor. Gaynor narrowly lost the race for Secretary of State in 2018.
He said in a news release that "Career politicians and political insiders have gotten us into this, but they can’t get us out. Sound bites and slick answers telling us what we want to hear just to win elections just won’t cut it anymore."
