RECRUITMENT FAIL: Dems’ star AZ-02 candidate drops out

September 7, 2021

Another day, another embarrassing recruiting failure for congressional Democrats. 

In case you missed it, Dr. Randy Friese, a state representative and the doctor who saved Gabby Giffords’ life, has dropped out of AZ-02’s congressional race because he knows Democrats are doomed. 

He raised $566,000 last quarter, has $425,000 in the bank, but now says managing his work at the hospital during COVID and running a congressional campaign is just too much. 

Looks like Joe Biden’s failure to fix COVID (like he promised) has lots of consequences for Democrats!  

NRCC COMMENT: “Dr. Friese ended his congressional run because he knows Democrats are doomed in 2022 and campaigning would be a waste of time.”– NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
