I've seen enough: Sen. Mark Kelly (D) wins reelection in #AZSEN, defeating Blake Masters (R).

tfgJr is also all about legalizing all silencers. FWIW.

For a supposed "Patriot", he seems obsessed with German products (BMW, Walther P99 gun). I like how he downplays the silencer roll -- not about making crime easier, but rather so the shooter doesn't need ear protection.

I think this psycho needs to be on a watch list.

This ad made me wonder if Blake Masters is his real name. It sounds like the kind of name someone would pick to sound manly and western.

I was only half paying attention, but I think I heard some mention on CNN yesterday about his grandfather being a senator and either ran against Harry Reid and/or succeeded him or something like that. I'll see if the Google machine can help me.

Here's something:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Laxalt

Laxalt was married in 1946 to Jackalyn Ross (1927–2004), the daughter of John Rolly Ross, who was a federal judge in Nevada.[17] The couple had five daughters (Gail, Sheila, Michelle, Kevin, and Kathleen) and one son (John Paul). They divorced in 1972. Laxalt was married to his second wife, Carol, until his death. She had one daughter (Denise) from a previous marriage. After he retired from the Senate, Paul and Carol Laxalt continued to reside in northern Virginia. Laxalt had twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.[18]

In 1978, Laxalt's daughter Michelle had a son, Adam Laxalt, with Laxalt's then-Senate colleague, Pete Domenici of New Mexico. Michelle Laxalt raised Adam as a single parent. Adam Laxalt's paternity was not publicly acknowledged by his parents until 2013.[19][20] At that time, Domenici acknowledged that Laxalt was his son and was born as a result of an extramarital liaison.[20] Laxalt's grandson Adam served as Attorney General of Nevada from 2015 to 2019.[18] In the 2022 midterm elections Adam narrowly lost his bid to unseat Catherine Cortez Masto, the incumbent United States Senator from Nevada.

Wasn't Laxalt in the NV Senate race, yet we're in the AZ Senate thread. I am a confused
