PHOENIX, ARIZONA — Just one week into his re-election campaign, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is announcing a round of major endorsements. The Arizona Association of REALTORS, representing over 50,000 professionals across our state, today announced their support for Governor Ducey to secure Arizona’s future.

“Every day, 132 people pack up a U-Haul and set their GPS for Arizona. More than 200,000 people and 300 companies have moved to our state in the last three years,” said Governor Ducey. “As they get here, our state’s more than 50,000 REALTORS stand ready to help them find a home or office. I am honored to receive their endorsement.”

The Arizona Association of REALTORS is the largest trade association in Arizona. Their endorsement is the latest example of the strong support Governor Ducey continues to receive from Arizona’s business community and entrepreneurs across our state.

“For many Arizona families, the most significant investment they will ever make is a home — their very own portion of the American Dream,” said Shelley Ostrowski, Chairwoman of the Arizona Association of REALTORS Political Action Committee and a REALTOR in Yuma, Arizona. “This organization represents thousands of realtors who work every day to ensure every Arizonan has the opportunity to share in that dream.”

“For that reason, we are supporting Governor Doug Ducey’s re-election. His record of accomplishment which has improved the quality of life for Arizonans, is clear with more than 160,000 new jobs created, the lowest unemployment rate in a decade, and more than 200,000 new residents,” Ostrowsky said.

“Under Governor Ducey’s leadership, Arizona has come a long way from the depths of the Great Recession, and while there is more work to do, we are confident he is the person to continue to lead our state to a more secure and prosperous future.”
