Martha McSally, the up-and-comer candidate and retired Air Force pilot who nearly beat U.S. Rep. Ron Barber for his southern Arizona seat last November, says that she is being recruited not only to challenge him again for Congress in 2014, but also to run for Arizona governor in 2014 or even for U.S. Sen. John McCain’s seat if he retires in 2016.
McSally, a Republican, made the remarks last Thursday to a Rhode Island GOP group, according to a recently posted video found Tuesday by The Arizona Republic. The video appears to have been posted by a member of the group.
“I am being strongly recruited to run for a variety of different positions. It’s amazing once you get that national attention, what happens,” she said in response to a question from the audience. “People have recruited me to try and run for governor of Arizona or Senate when Sen. McCain steps down, and these are all very wonderful thoughts and I appreciate that.”
