Mark Lamb
Republican · Congress
Mark Lamb served two terms as Pinal County sheriff, from 2017 to 2024 and he lost the 2024 Republican primary for U.S. Senate to Kari Lake. After he launched his campaign to replace Andy Biggs in Congress, several women said he sent them explicit messages and nude photos while he was sheriff and then used threats to keep them quiet. A Pinal County Attorney's Office report in June found he had benefited from "a different standard of review" as sheriff. He has President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
