Kari Lake, a former news anchor and failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate, is now running for Arizona senate against Rep. Ruben Gallego.
Both are vying for the seat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema may or may not be seeking reelection for.
Lake and Gallego are engaged in an all-out fundraising war, with polls showing them at 46% and 45%, respectively.
Ruben Gallego is fundraising off losing to me.
So I think it’s only fair that I fundraise off beating him.
Ruben has done tremendous damage to our state AND country while in Congress.
We MUST keep him out of the Senate.

“We the people are not asleep, we the people are awake. We’re standing up. We’re gonna fight back,” Lake said. “And we’re gonna take our country back.”
“Ruben Gallego is fundraising off losing to me. So I think it’s only fair that I fundraise off beating him.“
“This is a time to get involved,” Lake said. “Every day get involved. We have to show up and vote. As President Trump says, ‘We got to swamp them.’”
BREAKING: The latest polling this month has us trailing Kari Lake by ONE point in a two-way race. The truth is, holding the Senate majority will come down to winning Arizona.
Can you rush a donation and help us fight back and take the lead? We can’t do this without you.

Lake emphasized the need for voter involvement and expressed her strong stance on border security.
“I know that our elections need help,” Lake said. “I know we need reform so that people have faith in our elections, but sitting it out, licking our wounds and saying, we’re not going to show up — it’s not the answer.”
“Honestly, my border plan when I ran for governor was the strongest, was bold, aggressive border plan this country’s ever seen,” Lake said.
“But I do know when we get President Trump in the White House, we’re going to secure that border starting on day one. And the people in New Hampshire won’t have to worry about fentanyl pouring in killing the young people and the other states that are dealing with the Fentanyl crisis as well, including Arizona.”
She has garnered support due to her border plan and her alignment with Trump’s policies.
Despite rumors of being a potential vice presidential candidate, Lake has repeatedly stated her focus on Arizona for the time being.
