Rusty Bowers, the Arizona House speaker who testified before the Jan. 6 committee about Donald Trump's pressure to overturn the 2020 election, has lost a Republican primary for state Senate to former lawmaker David Farnsworth, who was endorsed by Trump.
Bowers insisted on seeing Trump’s evidence of voter fraud, which he said Trump’s team never produced beyond vague allegations. He recalled Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani later told him, “We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence.”
The Farnsworth-Bowers battle was one of several brewing that involved current or former Arizona lawmakers. Townsend said she felt compelled to run against Rogers when she refused to refute white nationalism after speaking at a conference in Florida in February.
