AZ-SEN: Sinema joins Senate battle, blasts Sen. McSally as willing to 'say anything to get elected'
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is opening fire for the first time in Arizonas U.S. Senate race, lending her support in the most public of ways to fellow Democrat Mark Kelly as he seeks to unseat her one-time rival, Sen. Martha McSally.
Sinema, D-Ariz., who defeated McSally, R-Ariz., in the 2018 race for the states other Senate seat, is featured in a new television ad for Kelly after avoiding direct, public confrontation with McSally.
The commercial launched Saturday ahead of Tuesday's only debate between McSally and Kelly. Sinemas entry into the race builds on fundraising she has done on Kellys behalf, an endorsement earlier this year of former Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for president, and various endorsements of Arizona state lawmakers.
In the ad, Sinema reminds viewers of McSallys voting record to strike down the Affordable Care Act, which prevents insurers from denying coverage to those with preexisting medical conditions.
