Why This Race Matters
Arizona is a swing state where races are decided by a few thousand votes.
The governor shapes health care, housing, schools, water and voting rules, and can veto any bill.
Vietnamese American Voters
About 20,700 eligible Vietnamese American voters (36,294 Vietnamese Americans in Arizona).
2022 governor race margin: just 17,117 votes. Our community is bigger than that margin.
