The former chair of the Arizona Democratic Party is stepping down from her role as state House Minority Whip to explore a run for Rep. Ruben Gallego’s seat in the US House.
A recent survey of the 2024 Arizona Senate race indicates that Arizonans not only favor Rep. Gallego over Sen. Sinema but also that Sen. Sinema is the most unfavorable political candidate in the state.
The announcement comes days after Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock won reelection in Georgia, securing a 51st seat in the US Senate for Democrats, strengthening their majority and weakening the ability of any single senator to hold up legislation.
The censuring of Simena is mostly symbolic. It acts as a way for Democrats in Arizona to publicly reprimand the senator for obstructing President Biden’s agenda.
