List of governors of Arizona: Difference between revisions

Twenty-four people have served as governor over 28 distinct terms. All of the repeat governors were in the state's earliest years, when [[George W. P. Hunt]] and [[Thomas Edward Campbell]] alternated as governor for 17 years and, after a two-year gap, Hunt served another term. One governor, [[Evan Mecham]], was successfully impeached, and one, [[Fife Symington]], resigned upon being convicted of a felony. The longest-serving governor was Hunt, who was elected seven times and served just under fourteen years. The longest single stint was that of [[Bruce Babbitt]], who was elected to two four-year terms after succeeding to the office following the death of his predecessor, [[Wesley Bolin]], serving nearly nine years total. Bolin had the shortest tenure, dying less than five months after succeeding as governor. Arizona has had five [[List of female governors in the United States#Demographics|female governors]], the most in the United States, and was the first—and until 2019 (when [[Michelle Lujan Grisham]] succeeded [[Susana Martinez]] in neighboring [[New Mexico]]) the ''only''—state where female governors served consecutively.
