Ruben Gallego Wins Arizona Senate Seat, Defeating Kari Lake


Democratic candidate Ruben Gallego has won the Arizona Senate race, defeating Republican and former Phoenix TV anchor Kari Lake, according to Decision Desk.

Gallego's platform prioritizes reproductive rights and expanding access to abortion services. He is a strong advocate for ending the filibuster, aiming to secure protections similar to those once granted under Roe v. Wade.

Additionally, Gallego supports raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and increasing taxes on billionaires and large corporations, emphasizing that they should "pay their fair share."

On immigration, Gallego has expressed a commitment to border security. According to his campaign, he has consistently voted to fund an increase in border patrol agents and supported a bipartisan border bill that, though it didn’t pass, sought compromise on border issues.

Gallego initially launched his Senate campaign in January 2023, setting up a challenge against Independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema. When Sinema announced her retirement, the race narrowed to Gallego and Lake.

A military veteran, Gallego was first elected to the Arizona state Legislature in 2010 and moved on to Congress in 2014, focusing on veterans’ issues and military policy.
