Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Won’t Run Again

Jan Brewer announced today she won’t seek a third term as governor.

“There does come a time to pass the torch of leadership,” Ms. Brewer said Wednesday during brief comments at an elementary school here. “And after competing this term in office, I will be doing just that.”…

Even though the Arizona Constitution limits governors to two terms, Ms. Brewer had talked about trying to find a way around it. Her first term came by appointment, after the governor at the time, Janet Napolitano, left to become President Obama’s Homeland Security secretary, and Ms. Brewer could have made a case in court that although she served two terms, one of them was not an elected term, so it should not count.
