I became the 22nd person to take the oath of office as Governor of Arizona on January 21, 2009. I am Arizona’s fifth Secretary of State to succeed to Governor in mid-term. I have lived in Arizona for 39 years, and spent the past 27 of them serving the people and upholding the public trust. Prior to my succession to Go...vernor, I served as Arizona Secretary of State, as Maricopa County Supervisor, and as a member of both houses of the Arizona Legislature, where I rose to leadership of the State Senate. I was elected Arizona Secretary of State in 2002 and was re-elected to a second term in 2006. Since then, I have worked actively, even-handedly and without partisan rancor to inspire public confidence in the state’s political processes. I am married to Dr. John Brewer and am mother of three sons, one of whom passed away in 2007. I have lived in Arizona since 1970.Read More
