Gov. Doug Ducey announces Jon Kyl’s resignation

Governor Doug Ducey announced that Senator Jon Kyl will be resigning as of December 31, 2018, Friday morning.

“When Jon Kyl returned to the Senate in September, our country faced many critical issues. Arizona needed someone who could hit the ground running from day one and represent our state with experience and confidence – and that’s exactly what Senator Kyl has done,” said Ducey via Twitter.
