WASHINGTON, DC – Senate Leadership Fund President and CEO Steven Law today released the following statement in response to Senator Jeff Flake announcing he will not seek re-election.
“Sen. Jeff Flake will be remembered for a distinguished and impactful career in Congress, as well as his independent streak and genial manner.
“The one political upshot of Sen. Flake’s decision today is that Steve Bannon’s hand-picked candidate, conspiracy-theorist Kelli Ward, will not be the Republican nominee for this Senate seat in 2018.”
