Democratic governor Janet Napolitano resigned on January 21, 2009, to be sworn in as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Since Arizona does not have a lieutenant governor, Secretary of State Jan Brewer was first in the state's gubernatorial line of succession and was sworn in as governor on the same day. She was elected to a full term in 2010, defeating Democrat Terry Goddard, the Arizona Attorney General, by 54% to 42%.

Brewer was term-limited in 2014, despite only serving one full term. This is because Arizona state law limits office holders to two consecutive terms regardless of whether they serve full or partial terms. In November 2012, Brewer declared she was looking into what she called "ambiguity" in Arizona's term-limit law to seek a third term.{{cite news |url=http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83720.html |title= Report: Jan Brewer may seek 3rd term as Arizona governor |work=Politico |date=November 12, 2012 |access-date=November 13, 2012}} In February 2014, Brewer reiterated that she was considering running for re-election,{{cite news |url=http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20140224brewer-hard-let-go-governing-decides-whether-seek-re-election.html |title= Brewer says it's hard to let go of governing as she decides whether to seek re-election |work=AZ Central |date=February 24, 2014 |access-date=March 3, 2014}} but on March 12, 2014, she announced that she would not attempt to seek another term in office, which would have required what The Arizona Republic called a "long-shot court challenge".{{cite news |url=http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20140312arizona-governor-jan-brewer-not-running-again.html |title= Arizona Gov.
