WASHINGTON — Karrin Taylor Robson’s abrupt exit from the Arizona governor’s race last week narrowed the Republican field to a pair of congressmen who offer a fairly clear choice in terms of ideology and style.
Rep. David Schweikert of Fountain Hills, elected in 2010, is a self-described “classic free-market conservative” known for railing for countless hours on the House floor against deficit spending.
Rep. Andy Biggs of Gilbert, elected in 2016 after serving as president of the state Senate, is a former chair of the far-right House Freedom Caucus and staunch defender of President Donald Trump.
