Ricketts for Robson

PHOENIX, AZ –Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE), a well-known conservative leader and former governor of Nebraska, declared his support for Karrin Taylor Robson in the Republican primary for governor of Arizona.

"I am proud to join President Trump in endorsing Karrin Taylor Robson for Governor of Arizona," said Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE). "Karrin is a proven conservative outsider who understands how to grow the economy, secure the border, cut government waste, and protect the American dream for the next generation. As a conservative businesswoman and mother, she brings real-world experience and common sense to the fight. Arizona, and our country, need leaders like Karrin who will stand up to the radical left and put working families first."
