PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is running for a full term in next year's elections.

Her campaign filed organizational paperwork Thursday morning with the Secretary of State's Office.

Brewer plans to formally announce her candidacy during a news conference late Thursday in her hometown of Glendale, Ariz.

Brewer is an ex-legislator and former county supervisor who was serving as Arizona's elected secretary of state when she was elevated to the governor's office in January.

Democrat Janet Napolitano resigned midway through her second term to join the Obama administration as homeland security secretary.

Since becoming governor, Brewer's time in office has been dominated by the state's budget crisis.
