GOLDEN VALLEY – Senate candidate and Arizona favorite Kari Lake rolled through Mohave last weekend bringing her message to the residents here with stops in Lake Havasu City and Golden Valley.
Lake, who was allegedly defeated in her bid for Governor back in 2022 by current Governor Katie Hobbs by a mere 17,000 votes amidst a flurry of voting irregularities which saw then Secretary of State Hobbs oversee her own election bid for Governor is now in a bid for Senator, running against AZ Rep. Ruben Gallego to fill the seat left by retiring U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
Lake drew a crowd of well over 100 People at her stop at Great American Pizza in Golden Valley last Saturday many of whom showed up hours in advance of her arrival.
Lake was greeted at the event by cheers from the crowd many of whom were adorned in Lake campaign gear and waving Lake for Senator signs. The inside of Great American Pizza looked like a Kari Lake campaign office with signs and Lake apparel and other campaign swag adorning the walls and tables within the beloved restaurant which is a favorite of both Bullhead and Kingman residents.
Once on stage Lake wasted no time in pointing out what she described as the failings of the current administration in Washington and how that has negatively affected Arizonans, both from the endless arrival of immigrants illegally crossing the border into our state costing the state millions of dollars as well as the sheer tonnage of the deadly fentanyl which has caused a national tragedy in the sheer number of Americans who have died from it.
Lake announced that she would soundly back the plans of current Presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump in both seeking the immediate removal of all such people from America but also in dealing harshly with the Mexican drug cartels behind both the immigration debacle as well as the endless flow of fentanyl into our nation. Her words were welcomed resoundingly by the crowd.
Lake spoke to the crowd for over an hour, even taking questions and ‘selfies’ with an endless line of well wishers all of whom unanimously stated they would be voting for her in the upcoming election.
Lake also made a a couple stops in Lake Havasu City attending both a church service there as well as another rally hosted by Nicks Pizza, where she was also warmly welcomed by Arizonans fed up with the policies coming out of Washington which are having a powerfully negative effect on The Grand Canyon State.
Whether Lake can defeat the somewhat unknown Gallego who is an open borders advocate as well as advocate for LGBTQ rights here in Arizona has yet to be seen, but if fundraising is any indication, Lake just hauled in over $4.1 million in the first quarter of the year giving her a massive war chest to fight with.
