Governor Doug Ducey today announced that former Senator Jon Kyl has agreed to serve in the U.S. Senate again, filling the seat vacated by the late Senator John McCain. As Arizona’s Senator, Kyl will serve through at least the second session of the 115-th Congress, concluding this year. Senator Kyl represented Arizona from 1995 through 2013. There, he served as Senate Minority Whip, the second-highest ranking position in the Republican conference. Prior to his service in the Senate, he was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1987 through 1995. As a member of the Senate, Kyl will be a voice for Arizona on critical issues confronting our state and nation, including appropriations bills, executive branch vacancies, among others.
