Debbie Lesko (R) won the Republican primary race for the vacant Arizona congressional seat Tuesday night, “drawing on her deep ties to the area to defeat 11 challengers,” the Arizona Republic reports.
Lesko and Hirai Tipirneni (D) “will face off in an April 24 special general election. The race will settle who finishes the current two-year term for Trent Franks, who resigned in December after being accused of sexual misconduct by some of his female staffers.”
[alert type=”general” dismiss=”no”] Lesko is favored since Donald Trump won the district by 21 points in 2016. [/alert]
