Serious question: why did Ducey appoint this idiot?
Arizona's GOP bench is surprisingly weak. The remaining members of the congressional delegation are all either far-right lunatics (Lesko, Biggs, Gosar) or are bogged down by ethics issues (Schweikert).
I think his logic was that she could take the L this year, allowing him to take the seat back in 2022. We'll see if his approval recovers by then.
I guess I wasn't following Arizona politics too closely back then. Was AG Mark Brnovich ever considered for the seat? He seems like he would have been a reasonable choice and probably a better candidate this year.
