Senator Martha McSally: GOP's defeated 2018 candidate to fill John McCain's Arizona seat

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has appointed Rep. Martha McSally to fill the Senate vacancy orginally created by the death of Sen. John McCain.

Sen. Jon Kyl, a Republican, was picked to succeed McCain on an interim basis. McSally, who lost a bid for Senate in November, is to receive the appointment to McCain's seat after Kyl departs, with the expectation that she would stand for election in a special election in 2020.

McSally, 52, is a retired Air Force colonel and in 1991 became the first female U.S. pilot to fly combat missions.

Ducey said in a statement: "With her experience and long record of service, Martha is uniquely qualified to step up and fight for Arizona’s interests in the U.S. Senate. I thank her for taking on this significant responsibility."

Arizona governor taps Martha McSally to fill Senate seat once held by McCain
Washington Post, Dec 18, 2018

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has appointed fellow Republican Rep. Martha McSally to the Senate, he announced Tuesday, picking a favorite of GOP leaders to fill the seat John McCain held for decades.

McSally, who lost a close race for Arizona’s other Senate seat this year, will succeed Sen. Jon Kyl (R). Kyl will step down at the end of the year following a brief time in McCain’s seat after McCain’s death in August.

“With her experience and long record of service, Martha is uniquely qualified to step up and fight for Arizona’s interests in the U.S. Senate. I thank her for taking on this significant responsibility,” Ducey said in a statement.

McSally is expected to run for the seat in a 2020 special election, setting the stage for a potential marquee contest in a battleground state. The seat will also be on the ballot in 2022.

It was the only logical choice after the  rats stole the Senate race from her in Nov.
