Something similar occurred here in MA just over a week ago, with the MA GOP Chair race.
Two candidates, with the anointed one, a Baker (Dem, MA) stooge, supposed to win, claiming he had locked up 45 votes (needed 41).
He was previously the MA GOP treasurer, who oversaw the gov-centric flow of campaign funds with none to great R candidates down-ballot.
Trump-supporting, pro-life conservative Jim Lyons won 47 to 27.
I was hoping Ward would have been appointed to follow John Kyl. But, maybe she can fire people up and stop the slide towards blue state ruination.
Did they lose any seats other than the Senate Seat?
This puts me on cloud 9; digging it!
Good news! Glad to hear it!
Good for her!!
Interesting.
I hope she’s better at this behind the scenes role than she was at being a Senate candidate.
This should be very interesting. The biggest critique against her in previous elections was that while she spoke a good game, she was inexperienced, with no track record to build confidence.
As chair of the AZ GOP, she will have a lot of work to do, cleaning up after the messes left by McCain and Flake. But if she can, in an acceptable manner, she will have cleared the path for her next election try.
Better get voter fraud under control!
I dunno. I get the impression that a lot of older folks are conservative but too many vote D to keep the benefits rolling.
And what about contrails?
Great news! Apparently the incumbent was using GOP dollars to re-elect himself
Arizona decided to wake up...I hope more states will replace squishy Republicans for Trump supporters...
Arizona has a long way to go to live John S(hithead) McCain down.
Time to go Cochise, Geronimo, Crazy Horse and Nez Perce on the Dems. Take no prisoners, destroy their territories, put crooks and commies in jail (Sinema, for one) using voter fraud as one weapon. Contain the Left to Tucson and Phoenix and them work on grinding them down.
Use the illegal aliens invasion, the resulting crime and drug epidemics as your foil. Keep reminding the people via the radio, press, billboards of “The Human Cost of Illegal Immigration”, with photos of their victims from crime and drugs.
Other billboards should focus on the “Dollar” cost of illegals to the Arizona taxpayer, emphasizing that schools and hospitals suffer the most from the “wave” of sick illegals who can’t pay for medical care, and the destruction of the level of education from K-12.
A billboard in the right place is worth a Million Dollars with the wrong message.
Hard to find info:
“Ward won with 633 votes. Lines had 526 votes, and a third candidate had 65.”
I’m not a huge fan of Ward, but the establishment there is worse. After the poor job done in Arizona by the powers that be, she can’t be any worse.
