The winner of the GOP nomination would face an anticipated three-way general election matchup with Democrat Ruben Gallego and incumbent Independent Kyrsten Sinema, who has still yet to formally announce her own re-election campaign. Pinal County covers a vast 5,000 square-mile region between the Phoenix and Tucson corridor. Lamb has remained a vocal critic of President Joe Biden's administration’s handling of the southern border,a U.S. House committee in early March that his deputies have seized increasing volumes of fentanyl and encountered greater human-trafficking cartel movements.
