Republican Rep. David Schweikert is running for governor for Arizona, opening up a battleground House district in the Phoenix suburbs.
In an interview with the Arizona Republic, Schweikert said he’s grown weary of dysfunction in Washington and he’d have a greater opportunity to improve government efficiency at the state level.
“In Arizona, I think you have the chance to actually bring in the changes, the technology, the modernization that would give us another decade of wage growth, some real prosperity. I’m very concerned about some of the data I’ve seen in Arizona that we’re losing our edge,” he told the newspaper.
