Doug Ducey appointed Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) to replace Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) as the next U.S. senator on Tuesday.<\/h2>\n<p>Ducey announced Tuesday that he will replace Sen. Kyl with Rep. McSally. Ducey temporarily appointed Kyl to serve as senator after the death of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Kyl will leave his post on December 31.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith her experience and long record of service, Martha is uniquely qualified to step up and fight for Arizona\u2019s interests in the U.S. Senate,\u201d Ducey\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2018\/12\/18\/arizona-governor-to-appoint-mcsally-to-senate-1067921\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">said<\/a>\u00a0in a statement Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>McSally, a former Air Force pilot, lost the U.S. Senate race this November to replace Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who will retire at the end of this congressional term. Krysten Sinema\u2019s victory over McSally is the first Democrat triumph in the state since 1976.<\/p>\n<p>McSally will serve in the U.S. Senate until the next general election in 2020, and the winner of that election will serve the remainder of McCain\u2019s six-year term, which ends after the 2022 election.<\/p>\n<p>Gov.
