Arizona Governor Says He'd Rather Have a White Nationalist in State Legislature than a Democrat
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was questioned Thursday about his efforts to get Wendy Rogers elected to the state senate in 2020, and whether he has any regrets in light of how Rogers has been promoting white nationalist causes.
Arizona Mirror reporter Jeremy Duda asked the Republican governor his thoughts on Rogers during an event where Ducey announced a scholarship program for the states foster children.
Are you still happy with that investment? Do you believe that was a good decision? Duda asked, referring to the governors independent expenditures giving half a million dollars to Rogers campaign.
What I need as a governor are governing majorities so that I can pass dollars into our social safety net so we can provide programs like this that will help children from all over our state
[and so] we can pass budgets that will put $8.6, $8.7 billion additional dollars into K-12 education, Ducey claimed. So thats what Ive wanted to do, is move my agenda forward. Im proud of what weve been able to accomplish, and [Rogers] is still better than her opponent, Felicia French.
