Former television news anchor Kari Lake, a Republican, has won the Republican primary in Arizona's governor's race. Lake defeated her opponent, Mark Lamb, the sheriff of Pinal County, in a closely contested race.
Lake, a conservative candidate, campaigned on a platform of border security, election integrity, and conservative values. She has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Lamb, a more moderate Republican, campaigned on a platform of law enforcement, education, and economic development. He had been endorsed by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey.
Lake's victory is a major upset. She was considered a long shot to win the primary, but she was able to secure the support of Trump voters and conservative activists.
Lake will now face Democrat Katie Hobbs in the general election in November. Hobbs is the current Arizona Secretary of State.
