The former Phoenix mayor was a potential challenger to Rep. Ruben Gallego's expected run for Democrats, who are seeking to retake the seat held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.Rep. Greg Stanton announced Thursday he will not run for the U.S. Senate in 2024 in a move that could avert a costly primary battle for Democrats if the party, as expected, seeks to retake the seat held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
Stanton, a former Phoenix mayor who is in his third term in Washington, responded to Sinema's decision by posting on social media polling that suggested he had been exploring a bid of his own against Sinema. On Thursday, Stanton pulled himself out of the running. In a tweet of his own, Gallego said Stanton"is a great public servant. Proud to call him a partner in serving AZ families."
