Ducey predicted that this would be “a very dynamic cycle,” but declined to comment in the crowded field, saying that he has been focusing on the Virginia campaign.

In 2014, when Dussy and former Mesa Mayor Scott Smith got into a tense six-a-side Republican primary, Dussy benefited from the then governor. Jan Brewer’s hesitation.
