Gosar eyes primary challenge to Flake
Source: Arizona Capitol Times
Add Congressman Paul Gosar to the list of potential challengers U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake might face in next year’s Republican primary.
Gosar, a fourth-term representative from Arizona’s 4th Congressional District, said people have asked him to consider running against Flake, and he’s considering it.
“People are not happy. And you know, when people ask, I’m a dentist, and so I listen to what the problem is, I take in the information and make wise decisions. So I’ve made no decision, but that’s where we go,” Gosar told the Arizona Capitol Times.
Flake’s frequent clashes with President Donald Trump throughout his 2016 campaign and into the early days of his presidency have earned him the enmity of many in the Republican base. During a contentious meeting between Trump and Republican senators last year, Flake introduced himself to the then-nominee as, “Arizona’s other senator, the one who didn’t get captured,” in a reference to Trump’s criticism of fellow U.S. Sen. John McCain’s war record. Flake skipped the Republican National Convention, quipping that he couldn’t go because he had to mow his lawn.

After all, EZ (typo and it stays) ranks dead last in the US in electoral integrity*. On the other hand, he's in a rabidly 'puke district now but should have a trickier time when Phoenix and Tucson are added to the mix. We can only hope.
This guy is a real piece of work. His House webpage (last time I could stomach looking) showed a horde of brown people pouring through a pair of gates, with a caption warning that "They're Coming" or some such sh*t. Which just goes to show that he's either an idiot racist or a cynical opportunist playing on fear.
