Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake expressed her willingness to engage in a debate with Rep. Ruben Gallego, who emerged uncontested in the recent Democratic primary. However, Lake hesitated to commit to a debate sponsored by the nonpartisan Citizens Clean Elections Commission.
During a statement to the press after casting her vote in Paradise Valley, Lake mentioned, 'I think we should talk about which debate we do.' She criticized the nonpartisan group for their conduct in the previous election cycle, stating, 'I don’t want to work with people who operate in that way.'
