Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s seat is opening up this fall.
Before a hotly-contested election this fall comes this month’s primary to determine which Republican candidate will take on Democrat Ruben Gallego.
Instead of running for Pinal County Sheriff for a third time, Mark Lamb is now gunning for the U.S. Senate.
“I’m not a politician,” he said on the campaign trail. “I’m just a patriot who lives God, family, freedom and the Constitution.”
He recently sat down with KGUN 9’s Ryan Fish.
“We need more common sense, real people in D.C.,” he said. “Washington, especially the Senate, needs more cowboy hats and belt buckles.”
Lamb also says he’s running to fix issues he “cannot fix on a county level,” like the national economy.
“I think the quickest fix is to get our energy independence back, start to stabilize the economy, less restrictions on business, less government overreach,” he said.
