On Saturday, October 10, the League of Women Voters of Arizona will host the 2026 Arizona Statewide Voter Forum — Candidate Panel Discussions in the Phoenix metropolitan area, with the entire program also livestreamed statewide.
This is a Candidate Panel Discussion, not a traditional debate. Candidates will appear in panels organized by political party, giving voters an opportunity to hear from each party’s slate of candidates for Arizona’s top statewide offices. Candidates will discuss the responsibilities of the offices they seek, their qualifications and priorities, their plans and vision for Arizona’s future, and how they would approach significant issues facing our state.
The following candidates have been invited to participate:
Republican Statewide Candidate Slate
-
Governor/Lieutenant Governor: Andy Biggs & Sine Kerr
-
Attorney General: Warren Petersen
-
Secretary of State: Alexander Kolodin
Democratic Statewide Candidate Slate
-
Governor/Lieutenant Governor: Katie Hobbs & John Giles
-
Attorney General: Kris Mayes
-
Secretary of State: Adrian Fontes
Other Qualifying Party Candidate Slates
-
Governor/Lieutenant Governor: Risa Lombardo & Lisa Castillo — Green Party
-
Governor/Lieutenant Governor: Teri Hourihan & Lisa Castillo — No Labels Party
-
Secretary of State: Duwayne Collier — Green Party
All candidates listed above have been invited to participate; an invitation does not indicate confirmed participation.
We encourage voters to attend the Voter Forum in person. Seating is limited and advance registration is required. For those unable to attend in person, the Candidate Panel Discussions will be livestreamed statewide, and local Leagues are also planning community watch parties.
The League of Women Voters neither supports nor endorses any candidate or political party.
