Today Republican Jan Brewer was sworn in as Arizona's new Governor. Jan will be finishing the remaining 2 year term of Democrat Janet Napolitano. Janet Napolitano resigned the position when she was confirmed as Homeland Security Chief by President Barack Obama.
Jan who was the Arizona Secretary of State, was sworn in as Governor at the old capital building late this afternoon. Thousands of friends, family and constituents attended the swearing in ceremony and the festivities that followed.
Jan is well known in Arizona politics. Prior to being elected as Secretary of State, she was the Chairperson for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. At the end Jan's tenure with the Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County was considered to have the most strongest financial position than any other county in the United States. Jan has also been elected as a Arizona state representative and an Arizona state senator.
Jan is taking office amids Arizona's 1.2.Billion dollar shortfall left by Napolitano which will probably be a monumental task for Jan. There is only hope that Jan can continue her positive financial platforms as when she was with the Board of Supervisors.
A mother and grandmother, Jan is 64 years old and lives in Glendale, Arizona - home of the NFC champions, the Arizona Cardinals. She loves watching the Phoenix Suns and gardening. Her garden is considered one of the most beautiful in the valley. Jan is known for her wonderful laugh and sense of humor.
BEST OF LUCK JAN!

Leolinda- Fantastic. Jan is a great lady and I am sure she will do whatever she can do to help undo the debt that democrats are so famous for creating. Cut spending, get rid of waste and less government. Live the Reagan motto. Less government! I am also glad she has republican support in congress and house . Let me know how it goes. Katerina
Katerina, It was interesting in that the local news media kind of buried information on Arizona's new governor. I sure hope that she will be successful.
