Kari Lake has filed paperwork to run for governor of Arizona.
The former KSAZ anchor had worked at the Phoenix Fox-owned station for 22 years before leaving in March.
She has publicly embraced conservative ideals, retweeting the account of the Arizona Senate’s unprecedented audit of former President Donald Trump’s loss in Arizona and other border states and tweeting about the lack of border security and mask mandates.

Lake quit the station with a video saying she wasn’t “proud to be a member of the media.” In a video about her departure, she said, “I found myself reading news copy that I didn’t believe was fully truthful or only told part of the story, and I began to feel that I was contributing to the fear and division in this country by continuing on in this profession.”
She launched a website featuring a countdown to the Arizona primary. Current Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey‘s term ends Jan. 1, 2023.
