In a significant development, the Arizona Police Association (APA) has endorsed Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego for the U.S. Senate race over Republican nominee Kari Lake, despite previously supporting Lake in her gubernatorial bid. The APA, Arizona’s largest law enforcement association, praised Gallego's efforts to secure substantial funding for law enforcement and his experience as a Marine combat veteran. This endorsement follows the APA's recent support for Donald Trump in the presidential race, indicating a split-party endorsement strategy. Meanwhile, Lake continues to receive backing from other local law enforcement groups. Polls show Gallego leading Lake as the campaign progresses.
