Arizona is widely considered one of the key battleground states for the presidential race between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The state of Arizona, which Trump won in 2016, carries 11 electoral votes.
Kelly plans to implement universal background checks for gun buying, calls for investment in renewable energy and plans to raise the salaries of teachers in the border state, according to The Copper Courier.
