Arizona voters selected several Trump-endorsed Republicans in Tuesday's primary elections for governor and key congressional seats. The winners include candidates who have questioned the 2020 presidential election results.

Republican voters chose U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs as their nominee for governor. Biggs, a former leader of the House Freedom Caucus, defeated Rep. David Schweikert and will face Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in November.

Alexander Kolodin won the Republican nomination for secretary of state. Kolodin, an attorney sanctioned by the state bar for challenging the 2020 election, will oppose Democratic incumbent Adrian Fontes.

Former NFL kicker Jay Feely secured the GOP nomination for Arizona's 1st Congressional District. Feely, backed by President Trump, will run in one of the nation's most competitive House races.

Mark Lamb, a former sheriff endorsed by Trump, won the Republican primary for the 5th Congressional District despite allegations of misconduct that he has denied.
