PHOENIX — Less than a week before Election Day, Kari Lake is making a final pitch to voters as she seeks to win political office for the first time.

The Republican U.S. Senate nominee told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show on Wednesday that her priorities have not shifted throughout her campaign.

“I want to go to Washington, D.C., and help turn America back on the right track and get things safe,” Lake said. “Again, I want to help secure the border and I’m ready to go work with President [Donald] Trump to make that happen. I want to make sure we bring back that strong economy where everybody was doing better.”

Whether Lake is the Arizona candidate to win the office and fulfill those promises is a question.

Real Clear Politics, which compiles polls and gives averages, has Lake’s opponent, Democrat Ruben Gallego, with a 4 percentage point lead with six days left to vote.

Lake, who lost the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race to Katie Hobbs, said her internal polling shows her ahead of Gallego.

“I think our internal polling is accurate, I really do,” Lake said.

Kari Lake on undecided voters

Real Clear Politics polling averages have Gallego with 49.5% of the vote to Lake’s 45.5%.

That would leave just 5% who are either undecided or voting for Green Party candidate Eduardo Quintana, who received just 282 votes in the July 30 primary.

Lake believes there’s even fewer undecided voters than that. She thinks most have decided but are keeping their votes close to the vest.

She said she met someone at an event Tuesday who said they are undecided but showed up in a Trump hat.

“They’re just people who are kind of that mindset of none of your business, you know?” Lake said.

“So I think undecided voters oftentimes are people who just don’t want to reveal who they’re voting for to a pollster.”

We want to hear from you.
