Mark Lamb, the sheriff of Pinal County, has filed paperwork to run for Senate in Arizona, entering the unpredictable three-way race for the seat currently held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
Lamb is the first prominent Republican to formally join the primary, which could escalate further with the entry of Kari Lake, the far-right unsuccessful 2022 Arizona gubernatorial nominee who has also teased a bid. Over the last few years, Lamb has worked to raise his profile with the GOP base, making regular appearances on Fox News, focusing on immigration and criticizing Covid-19 vaccine requirements. Lamb also has a checkered history as a proponent of false claims about election integrity.
Both Lamb and Hamadeh met recently with National Republican Senatorial Committee officials. Two other Republicans, Jim Lamon and Karrin Taylor Robson – who ran in 2022 for Senate and governor respectively – are also considering jumping into the race, sources familiar with the matter say. Trump’s influence looms large.
