PHOENIX — An Arizona congresswoman’s campaign for the U.S. Senate is heating up.

U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema has raised more than $1 million in the third quarter of 2017, according to a press release. The Arizona representative now has more than $4.1 million in cash-on-hand.

In a statement, Sinema’s spokeswoman Sacha Haworth said the development shows that Arizonans are “ready for the type of leader who has a track record of working across the aisle to fix what’s broken in Washington.”

“Whether it’s cutting red tape for small businesses or getting a veteran the healthcare he or she deserves, Kyrsten Sinema has delivered for Arizonans, and we’re grateful to have such widespread and enthusiastic support,” Haworth said.

Sinema announced in September that she would run for Senate in an effort to unseat Sen. Jeff Flake, the state’s junior senator. The Arizona representative will also have the support of Sen. Chuck Schumer, the head Democratic member of the Senate.

Flake’s future in the Senate has been in the air due to his ongoing spat with President Donald Trump. Several polls released in August showed the Snowflake resident trailing his primary challenger, former state Sen. Dr. Kelli Ward.

Top Republicans, including Sen. Mitch McConnell, are supporting Flake in the race, but some within the party think he could lose the general election.

Collusion with the DNC Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Shultz
to steal the Democratic nomination from Bernie Sanders could not overcome your alleged Russian scam. Lying to congress
regarding confidential emails on a private email server could not overcome your alleged Russian scam. Deleting thousands
of emails and bleaching the server after being subpoenaed could not overcome your alleged Russian scam. The private meeting between Loretta Lynch and B. C. could not overcome your alleged Russian
scam. Comey writing Hillary’s exoneration letter 2 months before the investigation was completed could not overcome your alleged Russian scam. CNN giving Hillary the questions before the presidential debate could not overcome your alleged Russian scam. All of Hillary’s cheating, lying, and conspiring could not help her steal the election…err…overcome your alleged Russian scam.

I say alleged because 1: The Russians say they didn’t do it
(no surprise there) 2: The publisher for wikileaks Julian Asange said it wasn’t the Russians that provided the emails (I’m thinking he would know) 3: Van Jones was caught admitting that the Russian story is a “big nothing burger” 4: There is no proof of collusion between Trump and the Russians

I hope we don’t ever have an actual war with the Russians,
because if they are so good as to stop Hillary from winning after all the cheating and lying she did, we will lose the war for sure. But by all means, hold that belief that Hillary lost because of them. Hold it
close to your heart. Let it comfort you for the years to come while Trump is president.

Also, my friend, please realize that many of the people who
voted for Trump wasn’t because they wanted Trump to win, it was because they didn’t want Hillary to win. Those are the people who are sick of politicians using their office for personal gain. A lot of people were not okay with her being corrupt.

The Russian delusion has been long debunked man. Repeatedly. I think they're down to blaming Russian Pokemon now.
