Former Arizona state senator and perennial Senate candidate Kelli Ward won a surprising upset to become the next chair of the Arizona Republican Party. 

Ward’s victory shocked grassroots conservatives and the political class alike, who viewed incumbent chairman Jonathan Lines – the establishment favorite – as the clear frontrunner. (The Daily Caller)
 

“I am honored to be your next [Arizona Republican] chairwoman,” Ward tweeted. “As chair, I am committed to working with you all to unify our party & enter 2020 at full strength so we ensure a resounding victory for [President Donald Trump] & Arizona Republicans down ballot. Our state’s future is bright! #Win2020.”

 

Ward served in the Arizona state Senate for nearly three years, before resigning to challenge Arizona Sen. John McCain for U.S. Senate in the 2016 Republican Party. The following year, she decided to run for Senate again against Jeff Flake before losing to Rep. Martha McSally in the 2018 Senate primary.

Ward came under fire for insensitive comments she made following McCain’s death and has a history of promoting conspiracy theories.

Ward’s election comes as the traditionally Republican state continues to turn purple. Arizona will likely be a crucial battleground state in the 2020 presidential race and will also feature one of the most hotly contested Senate races in the country when appointed Republican Sen. Martha McSally is expected to run to finish out McCain’s term.

McSally narrowly lost to Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema in the 2018 Arizona Senate race, one of 2018’s marquee contests.
