Blake Masters Announces Run for Congress, Kari Lake Endorses Opponent

Former Republican Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters announced that he will be running for Congress.

Masters is seeking a House seat in Arizona’s 8th district.

“Biden has failed. We need Trump back. We need to stop inflation, Build the Wall, avoid WW3, and secure Arizona’s water future,” he said in a video. “We need to fight for our families,” Masters said in his tweet.

The Daily Caller reported that Masters was initially planning to run for Senate, although the move would have clashed with Republican Kari Lake, who announced a Senate run in October.

Masters’s opponent in the race, Abraham Hamadeh, has been endorsed by Kari Lake.

“Hamadeh is a relentless fighter for Arizonans. He is truly our Happy Warrior,: Lake tweeted. “He stayed in the political arena and fought for election integrity while others hid.

“Abe lived and went to three schools in Arizona’s Eighth District district, and he’s running for Congress to give back to the community that made him the man he is today. I’m proud to call Abe a friend and honored to give him my endorsement.”
