Kari Lake defeated Mark Lamb, Elizabeth Reye, and Dustin Williams in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in Arizona on July 30, 2024. Lake and Lamb led the other candidates in campaign finance and media attention.
Incumbent Sen. Krysten Sinema (independent), who was first elected in 2018 as a Democrat, did not run for re-election.
Lake was a news anchor for Fox 10 News Phoenix for 22 years. In 2021, she left the station to run for governor of Arizona.[1] In the 2022 gubernatorial general election, then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) defeated Lake, 50.3% to 49.6%. According to ABC News, Lake's gubernatorial campaign "burnished her profile among conservatives and earned her widespread attention."[2]
Lake's campaign website said she "believes in secure borders, energy independence, safe streets, education not indoctrination, pushing back against the radical Biden agenda, and preserving the western heritage that makes Arizona special."[3] Former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Lake.[4]
Lamb was, at the time of the election, the sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona. According to USA Today, Lamb "made headlines in 2020 by saying he would not enforce stay-at-home orders and mask mandates that emanated from the COVID lockdown."[5] Lamb's law enforcement career also included work at the Salt River Police Department and the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.[6] He owned a pest control business until he became sheriff in 2017.[7]
Lamb said he was running for the U.S. Senate because "I've realized I can only do so much on a county level. This has to be taken back to a national level, and I hope to be part of the solutions in this country and not part of the problems. I think you need people who understand the nuances of working with other people."[8]

Submitted Biography: "After graduating from Johns Hopkins University in neuroscience, I went to work at the National Institute of Health. Later, while living in Portland, Oregon, I turned my focus to cleaning up that city with a run for the state legislature. You can imagine the reception of a Libertarian Republican running on an anti-corruption platform in Portland! Antifa (so- called) threatened me and my family but I took them on because the conscience of a conservative never backs down! Soon after returning home to Arizona, I noticed a change in the conscience of our conservative state. Much of the same extremism I witnessed from the far-left in Portland, I now saw growing in my beloved party. My Republican Party stands for Reagan, Reason, and Responsibility. My concern is that the party of Reagan is drifting away from these roots of reason and responsibility into self-defeating denialism that plays into the hands of both our political and global competitors. When we abandon those roots, we lose both here and on the world stage. It’s time to return those roots of Reagan Republicanism back to the party. This is why I am running."

Elizabeth Reye (R)
President Reagan believed that the greatness of our nation is rooted in our being a Beacon of Freedom across the world. Far from “poisoning our blood”, lawful immigrants seeking a better life have consistently been the lifeblood of our nation. Reagan saw that and so did I.
When President Reagan signed the last comprehensive immigration bill passed in this country, He was sure to congratulate both Republicans and Democrats. “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you don’t care who gets credit,” Reagan remarked with a smile. Nothing is ever going to get done on the border (or anywhere else for that matter) until we get back to understanding the wisdom of those words.
Economy
Was your life better off 4 years ago? What Biden and his cronies have done to our economy is atrocious. Skyrocketing inflation, loss of energy independence, and gas prices through the roof. There are easy ways to stop this madness. I stand to make Arizona the welcoming, easy to afford state I grew up in.
Peace through strength. It worked and it still works. Those like Lake who would capitulate to the tyrants and make America a junior partner in the Axis of Evil would be unrecognizable as Republicans to Reagan. And anyone who promises to be a dictator (for a day, hour, minute, or second) is certainly no friend of The Gipper.

Polls
- See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls
Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[14] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[15] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[18]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[19][20][21]
