ATLANTA – Arizona’s governor has announced her endorsement of former Secretary of State Karen Handel for Georgia governor.
Gov. Jan Brewer, a former secretary of state herself, said Monday she knows the office is good preparation to be governor.
Brewer earlier this year signed a tough law on immigration. It requires police investigating another incident or crime to ask people about their immigration status if there’s a “reasonable suspicion” they’re in the country illegally.
Handel has said she would fight to pass a similar law in Georgia. Illegal immigration has been a hot issue in the seven-person Republican primary.
