I’m no fan of Hewitt, but as an Arizona resident who contributed to Dr. Ward’s failed run against Senator McCain, I’m afraid he may be correct. Flake is very unpopular among AZ Republicans, so may very well lose the primary to Dr. Ward.

However, she will then be up against Kirsten Sinema, who will likely be a formidable opponent. KS has been a US Representative since 2012, and has vigorously worked to become widely known outside of her base in Tucson.

Sinema’s a woman, a Mormon, and a political centrist (US Chamber of Commerce endorsement), all of which play well in this State. She’s also an open bisexual (Local appeal? Not so much).

Donations to Ward’s campaign will be needed if she’s to have a better chance at her Senate run this time.
