A Trump-Supporting Sheriff’s Stand Against Kari Lake in Arizona
The New York Times ^ | July 29, 2024, 4:31 p.m. ET | Kellen Browning

Mark Lamb, the Pinal County sheriff and a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, strode around his spacious office overlooking the Sonoran Desert, proudly pointing out his accumulated memorabilia.

Here was the old cowboy rifle his wife had gifted him when he first won his post in 2016. It sat across from an animal skull and an engraved pistol, and it was below a framed New York Post cover story praising him as the “last line of defense” against drug traffickers. There was a signed card from the Trumps — Donald, Melania and Barron — thanking him for attending a Christmas party at Mar-a-Lago, the former president’s private home and resort. American flags and eagles abounded.

“I’m a dadgum patriot,” Mr. Lamb said.

But he’s not Kari Lake, the former news anchor and close Trump ally who has dominated a race Mr. Lamb says he’s still hopeful he can win.

For months Ms. Lake, 54, has held substantial leads over Mr. Lamb, 52, in surveys. With Mr. Trump’s endorsement and the backing of the Washington Republican establishment — and all the advertising dollars that came with it — she is widely expected to sail to victory in the primary on Tuesday night. The winner will go up against Representative Ruben Gallego, who is running unopposed on the Democratic side, for the seat being vacated by Senator Kyrsten Sinema, the Democrat-turned-independent who decided not to run for re-election.

She should have done what she said she was going to do by having a recall.

How do you know Lake doesn’t?

She walked it back farther than he did. Trump has proven he acts better than he talks. Lake doesn't have a term for me to measure her by. Sheriff Lamb hasn't walked it back. If she wins the primary, I'll back her because Gallego is a vampire.

The corrupt Chairman of the GOP in Arizona tried to bribe Kari Lake big money for her to go away. He said it was money from the “east coast” and basically told Lake to name her price...She didn’t bite and she released the conversation she recorded.

I support Lake.

He sounded like just another AZ McCainiac to me when he described the 2020 and 2022 elections that way.
