Arizona Senate race: New GOP candidate jumps into crucial 2022 battle
Fox News
Michael McGuire, the recently retired adjutant general of the Arizona National Guard on Tuesday, launched a Republican campaign for the Senate in his home state, becoming the latest contender to join a growing GOP field of candidates hoping to square off next year against freshman Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly.
McGuire, a retired Air Force fighter pilot, stepped down in April after eight years of managing the daily operators of the state’s Army and Air National Guard as well as steering Arizona's Department of Emergency and Military Affairs. He oversaw all of the guard’s COVID-related missions, from helping with vaccine distribution to distributing medical supplies to rural and tribal communities. "I served for nearly 34 years as a commissioned officer and I believe that the country is in need of principled, moral and ethical leadership. I'm looking to bring that as a conservative constitutionalist and I say that the road to 51 leads through Arizona," McGuire said in an interview Tuesday morning on "Fox & Friends."More Related News
