Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has officially launched his re-election campaign.
The Republican Ducey also released a video Monday entitled "Securing Arizona's Future" that promotes his accomplishments since taking office in January 2015 as the state's 23rd governor.
Four years ago, Arizona was only half recovered from the recession and families were hurting. Today, Arizona is growing and getting stronger, but we have more work to do. Together we are securing Arizona’s future. Our next chapter begins today. #SecureAZ pic.twitter.com/yxHEtEEKjt
