Source: Political Wire
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) has taken the formal step of filing paperwork as an independent candidate for 2024, even though she hasnt publicly said if she will seek reelection, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Filing a statement of candidacy doesnt bind Ms. Sinema to a run, but it does allow her to raise money.

(2,580 posts)for the Senate, any chance a moderate GOP candidate would run as (I) to negate the impact of Sinema (I)? Should Dems support such a candidate?
The race might look like this:
Lake -GOP
Sinema - (I)
Flake- (I)
Gallego- Dem.

(39,213 posts)I can't imagine her getting re-elected in Arizona. The Dems don't want her, neither do the Repukes. There aren't enough independent voters to put her in office against the party candidates. She's done unless something weird happens. Maybe Biden will appoint her Ambassador to some unimportant country, I don't know. Her Washington career is over.

(1,076 posts)as an independent --3% of no-party-declared or independent voters registered in the state = about 42,000 nominating signatures.
If she ran as a D or an R the requirement in AZ is one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of same declared-party as the candidate registrants, or a little more than 3,000 signatures.
Ain't happenin'.......... It's all about the money.

Wonder if she posts and boxes items up and how they get shipped and who is paying for the shipping?
