22nd Republican Governor
of Arizona. Brewer became governor in 2009,
succeeding former Gov. Janet Napolitano (D)
after she resigned to join the cabinet of
President Barack Obama. Brewer was serving
as Arizona Secretary of State at the time of
Napolitano's departure. Since Arizona does
not have a lieutenant governor, the
secretary of state is second in the line of
succession to the governorship. Brewer
assumed the role on January 20, 2009. On
November 2, 2010, Brewer was elected to her
first full term, effective through January
5, 2015. She was succeeded by former Arizona
Treasurer
Doug Ducey (R). Brewer began her
political career in 1982 when she was
elected to the Arizona House of
Representatives. Serving in that chamber
until 1987, Brewer then joined the Arizona
State Senate for the next ten years. In
1996, Brewer was elected the Maricopa County
Board of Supervisors, serving as Chair in
1998 and 2001. She was next elected Arizona
Secretary of State in 2002, where she served
until being elevated to the governorship in
2009. |

Brewer was not
known as an immigration hard-liner, but in
2010, when
Russell Pearce’s SB 1070 hit her desk,
she faced a contentious Republican
gubernatorial primary with nativism in
Arizona at an all-time high. Hispanic groups
lobbied her to veto the bill, but political
expediency triumphed. She signed it, her
popularity skyrocketed, her major rivals
withdrew from the primary and she handily
won the general election. Fairly or not, SB
1070 branded Arizona a racist state.
Boycotts, lawsuits and massive protests
followed. According to one study, convention
cancellations cost businesses $141 million
in lost revenue in the months following the
law’s passage. An estimated 200,000
undocumented residents fled the state. The
total price tag is something scholars still
debate. |
