The Arizona Democratic Party sent $10,000 to Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego for his Senate campaign last quarter, as he stockpiles cash to seek the seat held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema — a former Democrat who left the party in late 2022 and hasn’t said whether she’s running for re-election. The contribution, detailed in a recent FEC filing by Gallego’s campaign, shows the party sent him $5,000 for the primary and $5,000 for the general election on Sept. 30.
Asked about the contribution, Gallego said: “I’m immensely proud of the grassroots coalition we’re building. Arizonans know they deserve a senator who will actually fight for them — and that’s exactly what I plan to do.” On the Republican side, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb and Donald Trump-endorsed Kari Lake, the GOP's losing nominee for governor in 2022, are vying for the seat in the highly competitive state.
