He’s not a carpetbagger any more than John McCain was

Gallego has lived in Arizona since he got out of the Marine Corps.

I figured Sinema would drop out. She had no chance in getting reelected. I think her declaring herself as an independent was a Hail Mary, because if she stayed a Democrat Gallego would have beaten her in the primary.

I have a feeling Kari Lake is going to be a perennial candidate, and hopefully will never actually hold public office.

McCain wasn't a carpetbagger

his home of record was the Hanoi Hilton ffs. The woman that became his second wife was born and raised in AZ. He established roots and spent his free time here.

And I have no problem with newcomers. Hell its more than half the state.

Gallego targeted AZ because he could get elected here. He had almost no connection here and spends damn little time here.

You know a lot of people from Arizona

weren’t born in Arizona, right?

There were plenty of places he could have gotten elected, including if he came right back to Illinois. He didn’t even run for elective office when he first moved to Arizona.
