Ducey Shuts Door On Senate Run In Yet Another High-Profile McConnell Disappointment

[Ohio Joe]

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) officially put an end to speculation that he may run against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) in 2022 Thursday in a letter to donors.

Ducey’s office confirmed to TPM that he will not run for the upper chamber. The letter was first reported by the Arizona Republic.

“If you’re going to run for public office, you have to really want the job,” Ducey wrote. “Right now I have the job I want, and my intention is to close my years of service to Arizona with a very productive final legislative session AND to help elect Republican governors across the country in my role as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.”

It’s the third high-profile blow to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has struggled to recruit quality candidates even in advance of a promising cycle for Republicans.
