U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following statement on Arizona State Senator Carlyle Begays announcement that he is switching parties and joining the Arizona Republican Party: I am very proud to welcome my friend State Senator Carlyle Begay to the Republican Party. A member of the Navajo Nation, Carlyle has been a leading voice for increasing economic development and educational opportunities throughout the rural and tribal communities of the 7th District. In particular, I have appreciated the opportunity to work with Carlyle to demand the EPA be held accountable for the Gold King Mine disaster, which has impacted so many in his district. As a lifelong Republican, I have always valued our Party's ability to bring people from all walks of life together around shared values and a common purpose. I couldn't be happier to welcome Senator Begay to join our efforts to advance a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Arizona. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
