Janet Napolitano has resigned her office, handing the reins of state government and the final two years of her term to Secretary of State Jan Brewer. Napolitano's resignation was made official just minutes before 5 p.m. Tuesday.

It came on the same day that she was confirmed as secretary of Homeland Security for President Barack Obama. As part of her resignation, Napolitano submitted a brief letter to Brewer. "It has been my honor to serve the people of Arizona as Governor," Napolitano wrote. "I look forward to continuing to serve Arizona, our new president and all of the people of our great nation in my new role as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security." Brewer responded with a letter in which she accepted Napolitano's resignation. "I want to congratulate you on your confirmation as United States Department of Homeland Security Secretary," Brewer wrote.

"Thank you for all of your years of public service to the state of Arizona. "I wish you all the best." Napolitano, 51, now hands power to Brewer, 64, who is slated to take the oath of office about 3 p.m. today.
