Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has appointed former Republican Congresswoman Martha McSally to fill late Senator John McCain's seat.
"All her life, Martha has put service first leading in the toughest of fights and at the toughest of times, Ducey released in a statement Tuesday morning. She served 26 years in the military; deployed six times to the Middle East and Afghanistan; was the first woman to fly in combat and command a fighter squadron in combat; and shes represented Southern Arizona in Congress for the past four years. With her experience and long record of service, Martha is uniquely qualified to step up and fight for Arizonas interests in the U.S. Senate. I thank her for taking on this significant responsibility and look forward to working with her and Senator-Elect Sinema to get positive things done.

Over the last year, Ive traveled across this great state, meeting with countless Arizonans, and listening to them, McSally said. Ive heard about the challenges they face and the hopes they have for the future and Ive learned a lot. I am humbled and grateful to have this opportunity to serve and be a voice for all Arizonans. I look forward to working with Senator-Elect Kyrsten Sinema and getting to work from day one.
Senator Jon Kyl, who was appointed by Ducey in September to temporarily fill McCain's seat, is applauding the move.
"Because she currently represents Arizona in the US Congress, Martha McSally certainly has the knowledge and experience to represent our State in the Senate," Kyl said. "Moreover, she is highly energetic, smart and committed to finding practical solutions to problems facing our State and Nation. She is an excellent choice."
My husbands greatest legacy was placing service to AZ & USA ahead of his own self-interest. I respect @dougducey's decision to appoint @RepMcSally to fill the remainder of his term. Arizonans will be pulling for her, hoping that she will follow his example of selfless leadership Cindy McCain (@cindymccain) December 18, 2018

Yep, I’ve been saying that all week. Time for every Trump supporter to face reality: We have nobody representing us in Washington other than Trump and handful of people. Other than that, the rest are all deep state backstabbing globalist punks who don’t give one iota of a rats ass for this country or its citizens. Like Chris Plante was saying today on his radio show, ALL of them have to be removed from office, ALL of them. He was talking about this very thing today. Think about it: These so called “Republicans” held both houses for the past two years, yet the Marxists have been running amok doing absolutely anything they please like the Republican party doesn’t even exist. Investigating the living sh*t out of Trump and anyone even remotely connected to him, his family is threatened by these same punks, his associates are threatened, interrogated to the point of torture, Cohen for example was interrogated for SEVENTY hours and not ONE peep from the “Republican” party. All the REAL criminals roaming around scot free with mountains of evidence against them, going around bad mouthing this administration on a daily basis: Comey, Hillary, Brennan. What can we do? The real danger in this is who the hell is going to run as a REAL Republican again? Who would be insane enough to do that when this Marxist globalist Uniparty runs Washington? Who would even be associated with someone like that when you risk being financially destroyed, even jailed? Our government has been hijacked by traitors to the people and is this going to get even worse to the point where it leads to a revolt, a civil war?
Couldn’t beat a left wing nutjob troop protester, didn’t fight vote fraud in Maricopa either! Bad choice Ducey
