The Executive of Arizona is the senior-most council of the executive branch of the Arizona State Government, and is composed of the Governor and the principle Officer in each of the various executive Departments and Agencies of the State. The Executive is responsible for executing the laws of Arizona and the laws of the United States throughout the State, and for carrying on the day-to-day government (governance) of the State.
