McSally Appointed to Fill McCain’s Senate Seat in Arizona
Republican Arizona Rep. Martha McSally lost her race to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate last month. She's going to the upper chamber anyway.
Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced Tuesday he will appoint McSally to fill the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. John Kyl on Dec. 31. Kyl, who previously served in the Senate from 1995 to 2013, was appointed by Ducey in September to temporarily fill the spot of Republican Sen. John McCain, who died in August.
"I’m grateful to @RepMcSally for taking on the great responsibility of representing #Arizona in the U.S. Senate. I look forward to working with her and Senator-Elect @kyrstensinema to get positive things done," Ducey tweeted.

McCain's widow Cindy McCain tweeted approval of the pick, writing, "My husband’s greatest legacy was placing service to AZ & USA ahead of his own self-interest. I respect @dougducey‘s decision to appoint @RepMcSally to fill the remainder of his term. Arizonans will be pulling for her, hoping that she will follow his example of selfless leadership."— Doug Ducey (@dougducey) December 18, 2018
