Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey gets 2nd term in Republican sweep

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was re-elected Tuesday to a second term in a Republican sweep of many statewide offices, beating Democrat underdog and education professor David Garcia in a race that focused on border security and education.

"If you voted for me, thank you," Ducey told supporters at his victory party in Scottsdale. "If you didn't, I want you to know that I work for you. My goal these past four years is to be a governor for all the people, without regard for party affiliation."

Ducey attacked his challenger, Democrat education professor David Garcia, as a radical liberal who was weak on border issues and intent on raising taxes. Garcia slammed Ducey for "half measures and broken promises" to improve public education.
