Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican who testified at the January 6 Committee hearing against former President Donald Trump, lost his primary to State Sen. David Farnsworth.
Bowers was stymied by the Trump-backed candidate in his attempt to join the state Senate for its longer term limits.
Farnsworth criticized Bowers for refusing to help Trump or go along with a contentious 2021 election “audit” that Republican leaders in the Senate commissioned. Bowers also drew criticism after he testified in front of the January 6 Committee hearing against Trump in June.
