In Arizona, we have Republican Jon Kyl retiring. This should be an easy State for a new GOP Senator.

We have the following GOP candidates on the radar: Bryan Hackbarth [R], Jeff Flake [R], Wil Cardon [R].

Who is the preferred Liberty Candidate for Arizona? Anyone from Arizona have an opinion on this?

I don't know about Hackbarth or Cardon, but IIRC, Flake co-sponsored the ETF bill (senate version). His secretary was nice when I called about it. :)

Flake is not a liberty candidate. But he is a potential ally. If you look at the times when there were two no votes on a bill instead of just one, Flake's name is often right there with Ron's. That being said he has voted for the Patriot Act.

He is a more Jim Demint type conservative. I am comfortable with that because it is such an improvement. But other people here might not be.

Sincerely,

Slutter McGee

Jeff Flake is the best option that I am aware of.
