Blake Masters, a Republican venture capitalist who lost an expensive bid to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate last year, announced on Thursday that he’s running for a seat in the House of Representatives.Masters, an ally of former president Donald Trump, is running to replace Rep. Debbie Lesko in the state’s 8th Congressional District, which encompasses suburbs northwest of Phoenix. Lesko announced earlier this month that she will not seek reelection in 2024.
In a campaign video accompanying his announcement, Masters, 37, says he will focus his legislative efforts on tackling inflation, U.S.-Mexico border security and water security. A cover image for the video shows Masters side-by-side with Trump. “I’m running for Congress, to fight for Arizona’s 8th. Biden has failed. We need Trump back. We need to stop inflation, Build the Wall, avoid WW3, and secure Arizona’s water future,”— in 2022 won in a crowded Republican Senate primary after securing a Trump endorsement. He went on to lose to incumbent Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly in the general election.Masters echoed the former president’s false claims about the 2020 election early on in his Senate campaign.
The bid for a House seat comes a few weeks after another Trump-endorsed candidate, Kari Lake, launched her Senate campaign in Arizona aiming to unseat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, a former Democrat who is now an independent. Lake lost her bid to be Arizona’s governor last year.
