A significant fundraising event on March 6 in Washington, D.C., bolstered Lake’s coffers by an additional $330,000. This event coincided closely with Sinema’s announcement of her retirement, a moment that also saw Gallego’s campaign receive a $1 million boost within 24 hours of the announcement.
Lake’s campaign also benefits from the endorsement and support of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and several prominent GOP senators. These include figures like Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Josh Hawley of Missouri, further solidifying her position within the party.
Looking back at the close of 2023, Lake had successfully garnered $2.1 million, kicking off the election year with over $1 million ready for deployment. In contrast, Gallego had raised $3.3 million during the same period, demonstrating a strong financial standing with $6.5 million at his disposal.
Current polls show a tight race, with both Lake and Gallego polling at 41 percent. A recent Emerson College survey even places Gallego slightly ahead by four points, yet 16% of voters remain undecided. This Senate race is deemed a “Toss Up” by The Cook Political Report, highlighting its critical nature alongside other pivotal races in Montana, Nevada, and Ohio.
Adding to Lake’s endorsements, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas praised her commitment to security and well-being. “Kari has proven that she will always prioritize the security and well-being of Arizonans and the American people and will not back down from a fight. I am proud to endorse her for the U.S. Senate today,” Cruz’s statement read. He emphasized the importance of strong leadership in Arizona, especially given the state’s challenges with unauthorized border crossings.
Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee also supports Lake, commending her strong conservative values. “I’m honored to endorse my friend Kari Lake to be Arizona’s next U.S. Senator. Kari is a strong, principled conservative, who knows and loves the people of Arizona and will make them proud as their elected representative,” Hagerty stated.
