The Arizona Republic listed a number of names that have been floated as potential appointees to replace McCain. They are:
- Cindy McCain, 64, the late senator’s wife. She is a philanthropist and business leader and could represent her husband’s legacy while pursuing her own priorities in Washington, such as her advocacy against human trafficking.
- Kirk Adams, 45, Ducey’s chief of staff and a former state lawmaker. He ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2012.
- Barbara Barrett, 67, chair of the Aerospace Corporation and former US ambassador to Finland. She was the first woman Republican to run for governor of Arizona in 1994.
- Jon Kyl, 76, who from 1995 to 2013 served alongside McCain in the Senate.
The Arizona Republic also mentions real estate development company president Karrin Taylor, former Rep. John Shadegg, state Treasurer Eileen Klein, and former Rep. Matt Salmon.
One possible contender would have been Republican Rep. Martha McSally, but she is already running for the Senate this year to take Flake’s seat. The other was Dr. Kelli Ward, also running for that seat.
