Kari Lake and other statewide GOP candidates are campaigning together daily, hoping to capitalize on Lake's popularity. Democrats are running more of an every-candidate-for-themselves playbook
In Arizona, Kari Lake Leads United GOP Slate, While Democrats Go It Alone
The Republican’s united strategy began to coalesce over the summer, after a spate of Trump-endorsed candidates won their primaries, but really picked up steam in the fall. The four statewide candidates have rallied together virtually every day over the last month, with their backers writing encouraging messages in Sharpie on their “Arizona First” bus at each stop.
She said she needs Masters in the Senate to “push back against the overreach of the federal government.” She cast Hamedeh as a core partner who could help her secure the border and combat violent crime. “I’ve got to have an attorney general fighting along with me.” And she extolled Finchem, who rose to prominence as an outspoken voice denying Biden’s victory: “I need that cowboy.”
“She does it because electing outsiders up and down the ballot who will relentlessly fight to put Arizona First is the most important thing we can do to save our state,” a campaign spokesperson tells TIME. “Career politicians Mark Kelly or Katie Hobbs don’t campaign together because they care more about their careers than the future of Arizona. The polls tell them the only thing more toxic than one leftist Democrat is two.
Sarah Guggenheimer, a spokeswoman for Kelly, frames the Senator’s approach to campaigning as a sign of his approach to governing. “Following in the footsteps of his predecessor Senator John McCain, Senator Kelly has been the independent senator that Arizona deserves, putting the needs of the state ahead of partisan politics,” she says.
Sinema has publicly spoken of her support for Kelly and has donated $10,000 to his campaign through her leadership PAC. She also recently said that she voted for Hobbs, but has stopped short of lending her credibility with Arizona’s independent voters to Hobbs by campaigning with her. Hobbs’ campaign confirmed that Sinema has not donated to her campaign.
