In Arizona, state-level candidates have spent $100 million between Jan. 1, 2021, and Oct. 22, 2022. Democratic candidates have spent $29.8 million and Republican candidates have spent $69.8 million. 

In Arizona, voters head to the polls every two years to cast their ballots in important elections for the state. Led by Gov. Doug Ducey, the state’s executive government includes several department leaders and commissioners.
