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. |

History |

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. |
