Arizona Governor Doug Ducey on Tuesday appointed Martha McSally to fill the Senate seat previously held by John McCain, according to the Washington Post. McSally, a prominent GOP voice in Arizona, lost her bid for the state’s other seat earlier this year. She will take the place of Jon Kyl, also a Republican, who has held the seat since McCain’s death in August. McSally, who rebranded herself as a Trump supporter during her Senate campaign against Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, reportedly spent recent weeks mending tensions with the family of McCain, who had been a vocal critic of the president. The Post notes that McSally plans to run for the seat during a special election in 2020. “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.,” Ducey said in a statement. “I thank her for taking on this significant responsibility.”
