Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney won Arizona’s Presidential Preference election Tuesday by a wide margin, with 47.27 percent of the total vote, according to unofficial results available from the Secretary of State’s office at press time.

The former Massachusetts governor was in Michigan Tuesday, where he eked out another primary victory, although it was by a far narrower one. Meeting with Michigan supporters Tuesday evening, Romney thanked Arizonans for their vote of confidence, which garnered him all 29 of Arizona’s delegates heading into the primary election this summer.

Just days before the Presidential Preference election, Governor Jan Brewer gave Romney her endorsement. Sen. John McCain lent his endorsement earlier in Romney’s campaign.

Rick Santorum garnered the next largest clutch of votes in Arizona with 26.62 percent of the Republican vote. Contender Newt Gingrich took 16.16 percent, and Ron Paul came in with 8.45 percent.

Romney won the majority vote in every Arizona county. In Navajo County, he earned 57 percent of the vote, with Santorum taking 24.38 percent. Gingrich took only 10 percent of Navajo County votes and fewer than 600 people cast their lot with Ron Paul, who gained 7.4 percent of county votes.

Across the state, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, a Massachusetts physician, took 69.17 percent of her party’s vote, with Kent Mesplay of San Diego County and Michael Oatman of Arizona coming in a distant second and third, with 7.91 percent and 7.31 percent of the vote respectively.

Only eight Navajo County residents cast their votes for Green Party candidates.

While Romney wasn’t in Arizona for Tuesday’s election, his sons Craig and Matt were in downtown Phoenix with Republican supporters as the results poured in.

After Santorum conceded the victory to Romney for both states, Romney spoke to his assembled supporters.

“A week ago the pundits and the pollsters were ready to count us out. But across Michigan and Arizona I kept meeting moms and dads, students and grandparents, all concerned about what was happening to this great country. I was confident that we would come together today and take a giant step toward a brighter future,” he said. “Our campaign is about more than replacing a president. It’s about restoring America’s promise.”
