For those who are curious – the Arizona Secretary of State is first in line of succession should the office of Governor become vacant. Unlike most states, Arizona does not have the office of lieutenant governor. From Arizona Daily Star:
PHOENIX — Even though Gov. Janet Napolitano was the one on stage Monday outlining what the state’s priorities should be, in many ways all eyes were on Secretary of State Jan Brewer.
It’s assumed Brewer will be governor within days, if Napolitano is confirmed as the new head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
But Brewer gave no indication of her priorities Monday — no reaction to Napolitano’s speech, just a short statement thanking the governor for her service.
