Former Ducey aide sees Arizona Republicans on track for gains

This week Gov. Doug Ducey kicked off the 2022 legislative
session by delivering his final State of the State. His
eight years as governor of Arizona will come to an end in
January 2023, and people are closely watching how his last year
will unfold.   Tax cuts, COVID-19 response, school choice
and school spending and border security are among topics
Ducey mentioned in his speech. The governor also invoked the words
of his high school football coach, who told players to play the
game to the bitter end.  In this week's episode of The Gaggle,
an Arizona politics podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett Sanchez
and Ron Hansen talk with Daniel Scarpinato. He
served as Ducey’s chief of staff from 2018 to 2021 but has
been a part of his team since 2014. He advised Ducey on the
Governor's State of the State speech and is now a partner at Ascent
Media, a national advertising and political consulting firm. They
break down the final State of the State speech, what can be
expected from Ducey's last year in office, and the shifting
political winds that will affect the 2022 election cycle.
