How to Contact Arizona's Governor

Arizona was the 48th state to join the US, which means that it was the last of the contiguous states to join the union. [1] When Arizona joined, they had to create a state constitution, which established the office of the governor, and this can be compared to the office of the president. The governor is the head of the executive branch, which means that they are responsible for enforcing the laws. He also signs bills to make them law, and he can create executive orders and announce proclamations to commemorate special events. As of December 2020, the governor of Arizona is Doug Ducey, and you have a right to contact him to express your opinion. [2]
