(born April 9, 1964) is a former businessman and the current governor of Arizona who was elected in 2014 succeeding Jan Brewer, defeating his Democrat opponent in the gubernatorial election by over 10% of the vote. Ducey has previously served as the Treasurer of Arizona. A conservative Republican, Ducey surprised Arizonans with his complicity in covering up the fraud in the 2020 election.
Ducey rushed to sign legislation to allow the most populous county, Maricopa County – the county that determines who wins Arizona – to use Dominion machines in the 2020 election. Ducey, who previously vowed to wait to certify the election results until all litigation was resolved, also rushed to certify AZ’s results on November 30th after the Trump-hating Sec. of State certified the votes with the highest turnout rate in the country (79.9%) and even as the Trump Team was conducting a hearing in AZ on voter fraud with massive evidence. Representative Mark Finchem (R- district 11), said “I believe Doug Ducey signed a fraudulent document and he knew it!” Ducey wrote on twitter that he believes nothing fraudulent or irregular occurred.
Ducey does have a conservative background as he signed into law on January 5, 2015 a bill that would require all high school students in Arizona to pass a civics test similar to immigrant naturalization tests in order to graduate. An opponent of ObamaCare, Ducey signed a bill in April 2015 that would prohibit the enforcement of the Affordable Care Act in Arizona. Ducey signed SB 1367 into law on March 31, 2017, a “born-alive” bill that would require physicians to care for and protect infants who survive abortions. An advocate of school choice, Ducey signed into law in April 2017 a bill that would extend school voucher eligibilities to all schoolchildren in Arizona. Ducey was easily re-elected to a second term in office in the 2018 Arizona gubernatorial election.
After the death of sitting RINO senator John McCain, Ducey appointed former Arizona senator Jon Kyl on September 2018 to fill the seat vacated. After Kyl announced that he would be stepping down from his brief tenure in the Senate seat, Ducey appointed Martha McSally to succeed Kyl.
