PHOENIX — Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer gave U.S. Senate hopeful Martha McSally a ringing endorsement on Tuesday.
“Martha is an incredible candidate for the Senate who has served your country in the military and in the United States Congress,” Brewer said in a statement. “She has a record of doing her homework, gets the job done and is accessible to the public – she can be trusted!”
McSally, of Tucson, launched her run back in January of 2018 to try to replace outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake.
“Governor Brewer is a friend and a fierce conservative advocate for Arizona,” McSally said in a press release. “I am proud and grateful to have her endorsement.”
The 52-year-old will face former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former state Sen. Kelli Ward in the primary.
On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema is running for the seat.
According to a recent poll, Sinema held a nine-point lead over U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, an eight-point lead over former Arizona Sen. Kelli Ward and a 29-point lead over former Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
