News that Kirk may be considering a gubernatorial campaign for 2026 was revealed by 12 News reporter Brahm Resnik during the television station’s Sunday “Square Off” program when he claimed there is a “rumor” that Kirk is considering a run for governor after emerging as “a significant player” in the Republican Party during the 2024 elections.
Though she did not elaborate on the rumor, former Republican congressional candidate Christine Jones told Resnik that Kirk’s ability to raise money and campaign for Republicans could make him an attractive option for Arizona Republicans.
