Kari Lake - fuck the Scottsdale Admin State up as much as you possibly can. Word of mouth will spread about your willingness to jump in and change the momentum. Bureaucrats fear smash mouth consequential aggression like that. It makes them want to look for other jobs.
If I can offer any other advice - get the win. Whatever that Scottsdale win becomes, note it and memorialize it in your campaign literature that describes your ability and willingness to walk into the 'fire' and meet these issues head on. Remember this always:
'Only pretenders need the official title' - Since there is no current governance, become the stable presence now, not later.
Most of all, rise above. A leader is above it all. You come down to give info and to listen but largely you're above it all. And get a regular down and dirty experienced bureaucrat that you can run all your releases through. Your job right now is to be able to communicate with 'inside terms' and 'current ideologies' so you know how to describe in the correct terms what you want to accomplish. Remember, the thing you have going against you is that you're an outsider. Your communications and respect for learning the bureaucrats inside 'language' will take you a long way.
You are attached to Trump. You don't need a squeaker election. You need to deliver Q+ a HUGE election.
Lord lift Kari Lake up and use her as an instrument of your justice and grace. amen
