PHOENIX (AP) – A former Phoenix news anchor filed paperwork Tuesday to apply for the Republican nomination for Arizona governor in 2022 and launched a website to promote their campaign. Former Fox 10 anchor Kari Lake joins two other Republicans who started their campaigns last month. Lake has been widely viewed as a possible candidate since she left her job in March criticizing a media landscape she claims needed more balance in Arizona and other border states and tweets about the lack of border security and masking requirements. In addition to the letter of intent she filed with the Arizona Secretary of State, Lake also launched a campaign website, karilake.com. Lake joins two other Republicans who have jumped into the race to replace GOP Governor Doug Ducey, who is temporary and unable to seek a third term. Treasurer Kimberly Yee and Developer Karrin Taylor Robson announced their intention last month to Going for the GOP nomination. Marco Lopez, one of the youngest ever to be elected mayor of a U.S. city and quickly rising to a senior position in President Barack Obama’s administration, announced he was taking the Democratic nomination in March.
