THIS IS VERY INTERDASTING

WE MAY HAVE SENATOR McSALLY AFTER ALL.

Arizona Republican who lost tight Senate race could get the state's OTHER seat as lawmaker appointed after John McCain died hints at stepping down

Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema beat Republican Rep. Martha McSally in the race to succeed Arizona Senator Jeff Flake

McSally is the first-ever woman to fly combat missions for the U.S. Air Force

Sinema becomes Arizonaโ€™s first Democratic U.S. senator since 1994

She is the country's first openly bisexual senator and the first female senator elected to represent Arizona in the Senate

McSally has a way back to Congress: Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey could appoint her to John McCain's old seat

Seat is currently being filled by Jon Kyl, a former, elected Arizona senator

Defeated Republican Martha McSally could make it to the Senate after all with an appointment to the seat that John McCain held prior to his passing.

 

It's currently occupied by Jon Kyl, who had served in the Senate before and retired. He has only committed to doing the job until the end of the year, which would provide Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey with a new opportunity to appoint someone, possibly McSally.

 

'Martha McSally would be a very good member of the United States Senate, however she got there,' Kyl told CNN on Tuesday. 'And I regret that she didn't make it in her election.'

He said he wouldn't get involved in the governor's decision and would share his opinions with him privately on the future of the seat, while offering his support to the Republican representative who had just suffered a bruising defeat.

McSally did not run for reelection to the House this year so that she could pursue the Senate seat that was being vacated by retiring Sen. Jeff Flake. She fell short in an extremely tight race this week to her Democratic challenger, fellow Rep. Krysten Sinema, in the vote count that dragged on for a week.

Kyl has not said whether he will actually be leaving next month, and Ducey's office has said publicly that it wants him to stay.

McSally would be a top candidate for the appointment, if he leaves, though, having served in the House. The rules state that the person who fills the seat must be a Republican, because McCain was one.

'I can't think of anybody more qualified than Martha McSally,' Kyl on Tuesday told CNN.

 

He insisted in the interview that he did not 'want to try to try to influence' Ducey's decision and his high praise for military veteran 'have nothing to do with any potential candidate to replace me.'

'I'm going to be discussing my plans with the governor, and everybody else will be the second to know,' he said of his plans to retire again or stay in the seat through the special election that will take place in 2020.

Daniel Ruiz, a senior adviser to the governor, told CNN: 'The governor is hopeful that Kyl will continue to serve in the appointed Senate seat through 2020.

'At this point we would not speculate on a vacancy that does not exist,' Ruiz said.

McSally's appointment could scare off other Republicans who might be interested in running for the seat in two years. A strong seat-filler could ward off big name Democrats considering campaigns, as well.

She would be the second female senator to represent Arizona in the Senate, with Sinema, a three-term congresswoman, becoming the first in the election that took place on November 6.

She becomes Arizonaโ€™s first Democratic U.S. senator since 1994, and the country's first openly bisexual senator.

Republican won the governor. If The new dem is corrupt, he can replace her.

Also it has not been the 45 days yet.( EO regarding elections)

The idea that republicans would vote for republican govenor, and not McSally is ridiculous.

People in Arizona love the military, and she compared to the dingbat blonde, was a much more soild candidate that would have appealed to people in Arizona.

I think all the republicans in maricopa county should go online and check their votes( or at local clerk office) if they voted for McSally, then go double confirm it.
