Bennett, who also is a former president of the Arizona Senate, left the mainstream when he announced that he would not appoint Cindy McCain to her husband’s U.S. Senate seat if he were governor, said J.P. Twist, Ducey’s re-election campaign manager.
John McCain is battling brain cancer. If he dies while in office, the state’s governor would appoint someone to the seat.
