This dude is a freshman senator, former congressman, sworn in January 3, and he wasted almost no time trading on his new title to squeeze his way to a spot at the feeding trough. Also he’s replacing Kyrsten Sinema, so just fuck Arizona progressives, I guess. Apparently they’re not allowed to vote for anyone with actual character and ethics.

In January, Gallego took over the Arizona Senate seat vacated by Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat-turned-independent. Gallego’s entrance into the Senate race was seen as a victory for progressives, who were infuriated by Sinema’s repeated efforts to obstruct President Joe Biden’s policy agenda.
