AZ Sen. Jeff Flake pathetic incumbent [View all]

And, I might add, Jeff Flake has been a pitiful Senator living up to his name since he has been in Congress. With his approval rating at 18, he faces former state Sen. Kelli Ward in the primary who holds a 14 point lead against him in one poll. A potential opponent in the 2018 election, Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is running 40.5 % to Flake's 32.5% in the same poll. I have received three emails from Flake in the last month, not because I am a supporter, I'm not, but because I wrote to him asking for help on a medical issue, a request Flake did not even respond to. It wasn't personal, something I felt, along with many others, was wrong with the system. Nada, yet he sends me emails soliciting support. Checking GovTrack, I can find no significant accomplishments since he has been in Congress. The only plus in his column for me is that he opposes Donald Trump, but that's not likely to get him many votes in Arizona.
