In a resounding victory, Ruben Gallego has secured the Arizona Senate seat previously held by Mark Kelly. Despite a hard-fought campaign against Republican candidate Kari Lake, Gallego’s message of change and bipartisanship resonated with voters throughout the state. Lake, a Trump-endorsed candidate, faced challenges in overcoming the Democrat’s advantage in voter registration and his strong support among Hispanic communities and independent voters. Gallego’s victory further solidifies Democratic control in the Senate and adds to the Democratic majority.
