Arizona Senate. 2022 Senate candidate Blake Masters plans to run again, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Alaska’s At-Large District. Nick Begich, the Republican candidate who came in third place in the top-four primary for Alaska’s open House seat last cycle, announced his campaign on Thursday.
