Kari Lake wins primary, teeing up Arizona Senate showdown with Gallego

Source: The Hill

Republican Kari Lake easily glided to victory in the Arizona Senate GOP primary, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ, teeing up a marquee showdown between her and Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego.

Lake was largely seen as the presumptive GOP nominee in the Republican contest to replace retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), as her only real contender was Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. Gallego ran uncontested in the Democratic contest.

Lake, also a former local news anchor, has repeatedly refuted the election loss despite multiple court challenges getting tossed. The firebrand conservative has sought to court skeptics and moderate Republicans she isolated last cycle, with limited success.

Gallego, meanwhile, has sought to eschew his progressive bonafides, including having his membership expire with the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

She has no training in the law. She will be led around by the nose by lobbyists, if she is elected. We had conservative talk show host get elected to the legislature where I lived years ago, He only had a GED. He was useless as a legislature and his office staff was incompetent at best.
