NRCC Statement on AZ-09 Rep. Kyrsten Sinema’s Senate Bid

National Republican Congressional Committee Communications Director Matt Gorman released the following statement regarding Democratic Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema’s bid for the United States Senate:

“Yet another House Democrat has vacated a competitive seat and the NRCC is ready to take advantage,” said NRCC Communications Director Matt Gorman.

“After Kyrsten Sinema’s shady campaign contributors were exposed earlier this year, it’s clear she lost touch with Arizona’s 9th District. The NRCC not only believes this seat is in play, but is a prime pickup opportunity in 2018.”

This is the third House Democrat to vacate a competitive seat. Tim Walz (MN-01) is running for governor and Jacky Rosen (NV-03) is running for U.S. Senate.
