2 Arizona congressional candidates have posted about the QAnon conspiracy theory

Two Republican candidates for Congress from Arizona have posted frequently on social media about QAnon, a conspiracy theory that imagines a child sex-trafficking ring run by politicians and celebrities will soon be exposed by President Donald Trump.

Josh Barnett, who is running against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, and Daniel Wood, who is running against Democratic Rep. Democrat Raúl Grijalva, join a host of congressional candidates nationwide who have expressed an interest in Q.

Additionally, two Republican candidates for the Arizona Legislature, Suzanne Sharer, of the Ahwatukee Foothills area of Phoenix, and Justine Wadsack, of Tucson, are followers of Q.

Two sitting Republican state legislators, Vince Leach of Saddlebrooke and Jay Lawrence of Scottsdale, have also posted about Q on Twitter, though Lawrence later said he regretted it, calling some of the movement’s followers crazy.
