Former news anchor and gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake filed Federal Election Commission (FEC) paperwork to run for U.S. Senate to represent Arizona in 2024 on October 3, with the filing coming only days after she announced a “Kari Lake Announcement Rally” in Phoenix on October 10.
Lake will be the second major Republican to declare their candidacy for the office, and will enter the race as an early favorite, with polling from August suggesting Lake will handily win the primary contest.
The polling showed Lake as the favorite among Arizona Republicans, with 42 percent throwing their support behind her. In a distant second place, Lamb garnered 11 percent of support. Former Senate candidate Blake Masters, who was rumored to be considering a second run for Senate but has not announced a campaign, received 7 percent of support.
Lake’s former primary rile, Karrin Taylor Robson, was also reported to be considering a campaign, but has opted not to run.
The popular Republican recently uploaded a video to X, formerly Twitter, that seemed to confirm her intention to run for Senate.
