PHOENIX, Ariz. — KGUN9 continues to add to 'Your Voice, Your Vote' coverage, profiling candidates for elected offices in Arizona who are campaigning for voters' support on Nov. 8.
However, each said their focus is to serve as Arizona's top election director, should the voters pick them.

Finchem, who is campaigning to replace current AZ Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, brought up her current campaign for governor as an example for a potential legislative change.
