The Arizona Green Party has only one candidate, Risa Lombardo, who garnered only 275 votes.
Lombardo will go on to challenge current Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is running unopposed from the Democratic Party, and Andy Biggs, who AP called the winner of the Republican Primary after he gained over 222,000 votes from Congressional peer David Schweikert.
Hobbs has over 338,000 votes statewide while Biggs has only 284,000 statewide.
Madeline Bates joined Independent Newsmedia in 2025 as a Phoenix/Tempe reporter. Before graduating college, she spent a semester in Washington as a Congressional reporter in the first 100 days of the second Trump administration. But local news is where her heart is. She is excited to be in Phoenix full time and exploring new parts of the city (as long as they have AC).
Community: After living in East Phoenix for two years, she fell in love with Paradise Valley, Mesa, Tempe, and everywhere in between. She recently discovered the beauty of the South Mountain Reserve and hopes to continue exploring should the weather comply.
Education: Madeline has a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and a certificate in Political History and Leadership.
Random Fact: She is a self-taught nail tech. No, she cannot do your nails.
Hobbies: Hiking (when its not 100 degrees), fiction writing, cooking, baking and trying new coffee shops.
