Former sheriff Mark Lamb wins the Arizona Republican primary for the 5th congressional district, defeating construction business owner Daniel Keenan, according to multiple outlets. Lamb is described as Trump-backed and holds the endorsement that figures prominently in the race coverage. The primary is closely contested as allegations of sexual misconduct against Lamb become a major issue during the campaign. Politico and other reports characterize Keenan as spending heavily to elevate Lamb’s alleged misconduct as central to the contest. CBS News reports that Lamb and Keenan are the two candidates in the GOP primary and that Lamb ultimately prevails. The Daily Mail includes more graphic characterization of the allegations, describing them as involving swinger and nude sexting claims, though it does not indicate any additional outcome beyond the election result. Across sources, the key common points are that Lamb is the former sheriff, Keenan is his Republican primary opponent, the election takes place in Arizona’s 5th district, and Lamb wins the GOP primary despite the ongoing misconduct allegations raised during the race.
