Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) is eyeing a Senate bid, according to a new report, in a move that would give Democrats a top recruit in the race to unseat Republican Sen. Jeff Flake.
Phoenix’s KPNX-TV reports that sources familiar with Sinema’s plans have confirmed that she will run against Flake, but the congresswoman has not officially announced any decision.
Sinema confirmed in a statement shared with The Hill that she’s “seriously considering” a bid.
“I’ve heard from many Arizonans encouraging me to run for the United States Senate. It is something I am seriously considering,” she said.
