PHOENIX – Jeff Flake, Republican candidate for the United States Senate, today announced the endorsements of Senators Jon Kyl and John McCain.

“It’s been a tremendous honor serving Arizona in the United States Senate. It’s important to me that my successor listen to the citizens of Arizona and work hard on their behalf,” said Kyl. “My choice is Jeff Flake. Jeff is an honest, thoughtful conservative, and he’s already proven that he is an effective reformer. Jeff will fight for what’s right.”

“It’s not easy for one man to make a difference in Washington, but Jeff Flake has,” said McCain. “Jeff stood up to congressional leaders in the House when they were spending too much. They tried to punish and silence him, but Jeff Flake persisted. Eventually, they came around to his way of thinking, and there are no more earmarks in Congress. Jeff can get the job done and will be another in a line of strong, principled leaders that Arizona has long been blessed to have in Congress. I know that Jeff Flake will continue to serve as a strong advocate for Arizona in the U.S. Senate.”

“Arizona has been fortunate to have two of the most principled public servants representing us in the U.S. Senate,” said Flake. “I’m grateful for the example they have set and honored to have earned their trust and support in my campaign for Senate.”
