Arizona Governor Doug Ducey just appointed Martha McSally to serve out John McCains term until the next election in 2020
After losing to Kyrsten Stinema in the November midterm election, McSally gets another shot.
"USA Today has the story:
. . . "McSally is a combat veteran of the U.S. Air Force, who also holds the distinction of being one of the highest ranking women to serve in the USAF. In her 20+ years of service (1988-2010) she rose to the level of colonel. She was also the first female commander of the 354th Fighter Squadron.
"In 2001, she sued the Department of Defense, in an attempt to challenge the policy that required U.S. and UK servicewomen to wear body covering, when traveling off base, while stationed in Saudi Arabia.
"She served as the U.S. Representative for Arizona's 2nd District, since 2015.
"She will serve out the remainder of McCain’s term, then face a special election in 2020, to determine if she will be staying on as Senator McSally." . . .
"USA Today has the story:
Republican Rep. Martha McSally will replace retiring Sen. Jon Kyl to fill for the next two years the Senate seat long held by the late Sen. John McCain.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s decision to appoint McSally, announced in a statement Tuesday and effective next month, revives her political life less than two months after she narrowly lost the race for the state’s other Senate seat to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema. . . .
