Eight years ago, then Treasurer Doug Ducey, former CEO of Cold Stone and Arizona State University alum, stood and declared that together, with the support of his family, friends, colleagues, and fellow Arizonans, he would run for the Office of the Arizona Governor with the singular focus of providing every Arizonan with more opportunities. As Arizona’s Governor for tough times, Doug Ducey inherited a one billion dollar budget deficit as the economy was still recovering from the great recession. And he helped Arizona persevere through an unprecedented global pandemic. But today, the Governor faces his biggest challenge yet – a podcast interview with Scarp. Listen in as the two great friends discuss his time on the 9th floor and his legacy of service.
