Business entrepreneur Blake Masters, a Republican who lost his bid to become U.S. senator for Arizona last election cycle, announced his run for a House seat in the state.
“I’m running for Congress, to fight for Arizona’s 8th,” Mr. Masters, 37, said on social media. “Biden has failed. We need to stop inflation, build the wall, avoid WW3, and secure Arizona’s water future. We need to fight for our families.”
In 2022, Mr. Masters’ Senate run and Ms. Lake’s failed gubernatorial run were both endorsed by former President Donald Trump.Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego and Republican Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb also are in the Senate race. Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has not announced her intentions for 2024.
Ms. Lake, however, threw her support behind Mr. Hamadeh after Mr. Masters made his announcement, while Mr. Hamadeh took a jab at Mr. Masters over his Tucson residence, which is 100 miles away from the district. Arizona’s 8th Congressional District in the Phoenix suburbs is currently represented by Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican who is not running for re-election. Ms. Lesko held the seat since 2018.
