Incumbent Republican Governor Jan Brewer was term-limited and could not run for a second consecutive full term in office. After a competitive six-candidate primary, Republicans nominated Arizona State Treasurer Doug Ducey. Democrat Fred DuVal, the former chair of the Arizona Board of Regents, won his party's nomination unopposed. Ducey won the election with 53% of the vote. Background right|thumb|250px|Candidates for governor speaking at a forum hosted by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry. From left to right: Al Melvin, Scott Smith, Christine Jones, Fred DuVal, Frank Riggs, Doug Ducey and Ken Bennett. Democratic governor Janet Napolitano resigned on January 21, 2009, to be sworn in as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Since Arizona did not have a lieutenant governor at the time, Secretary of State Jan Brewer was first in the state's gubernatorial line of succession and was sworn in as governor on the same day. She was elected to a full term in 2010, defeating Democrat Terry Goddard, the Arizona Attorney General, by 54% to 42%. Brewer was term-limited in 2014, despite only serving one full term. This is because Arizona state law limits office holders to two consecutive terms regardless of whether they serve full or partial terms. In November 2012, Brewer declared she was looking into what she called "ambiguity" in Arizona's term-limit law to seek a third term.https://www.politico.com/story/2012/11/report-brewer-may-seek-3rd-term-083720 Report: Jan Brewer may seek 3rd term as Arizona governor Politico November 12, 2012 November 13, 2012 In February 2014, Brewer reiterated that she was considering running for re-election,http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20140224brewer-hard-let-go-governing-decides-whether-seek-re-election.html Brewer says it's hard to let go of governing as she decides whether to seek re-election AZ Central February 24, 2014 March 3, 2014 but on March 12, 2014, she announced that she would not attempt to seek another term in office, which would have required what The Arizona Republic called a "long-shot court challenge".http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20140312arizona-governor-jan-brewer-not-running-again.html Arizona Gov.
