AZ-SEN: Kari Lake meets with NRSC officials
Defeated Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake met with officials at the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Thursday, two people familiar with the matter told POLITICO.
The meeting comes as Lake is considering a run for the Senate in Arizona. Caroline Wren, a senior adviser to Lake, confirmed the meeting, saying it lasted about an hour and that the topics of discussion included the differences between running a Senate and a gubernatorial campaign.
Asked if the meeting got Lake any closer to making a decision about a Senate run, Wren said: “I don’t think so. I think it was more listening.”
The NRSC meets with many candidates and potential candidates for office and doing so shows no sign of preference on behalf of the committee.
But in Republican circles, including in Arizona, there are fears of Lake entering the race for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat after Sinema defected from the Democratic Party to be an Independent.
