Democrat Ruben Gallego's election as Arizona's first Latino U.S. senator represents a significant shift in the state's political landscape, marking continued Democratic successes post-Trump.
Gallego, a five-term House member and Iraq War veteran, emphasized his humble beginnings and commitment to serve all Arizonans during his victory speech.
He pledged to tackle major issues including the broken immigration system, veterans' rights, and women's reproductive rights, underscoring his commitment to progressive values.
With Gallego's election, the Republican Party maintains a 53-seat majority in the Senate, but his victory unseats Kyrsten Sinema and signals a growing Democratic presence in Arizona.
