Arizona Public Service Wiki
Who will succeed the Democratic governor of AZ (Obama’s new Dept. of Homeland Security secretary)? 10 points?
Here’s some details about her from the WIKI biography article:
Napolitano won the gubernatorial election of 2006, defeating the Republican challenger, Len Munsil, by a nearly 2-1 ratio and becoming the first woman to be re-elected to that office. Arizona’s constitution provides a two-term term limit for its governors[11], meaning Napolitano is barred from seeking a third term in office in 2010.
In January 2006, she won the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service. She is currently a member of the Democratic Governors Association Executive Committee. Furthermore, she has also served previously as Chair of the Western Governors Association, and the National Governors Association. She served as NGA Chair from 2006 to 2007,[12] and was the first female governor and first governor of Arizona ever to serve in that position.
