Hey readers,

It’s been one hot year — literally — for Arizonans.

We broke record after record this summer — the hottest summer on record, to be exact. We also found out Buc-ee’s was coming to Goodyear, ASU football won the Big 12 championship, and Ruben Gallego made history as Arizona’s first Latino U.S. senator, among other things.

Oh, and the many visits from Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as they campaigned through the swing state.

As you prepare to enjoy your holiday season, take a stroll down memory lane through The Republic’s top stories, photos, podcasts and videos.

Happy holidays!
