John McCain was first elected to the United States Senate in 1986. Now, he’s hoping Arizona voters will send him back 30 years later.

The last time he ran, Arizona Sen. John McCain easily won the Republican primary against J.D. Hayworth, before defeating Democrat Rodney Glassman in November.

Many observers are expecting Arizona’s senior senator to face a primary challenge this year. But McCain says, he’s not too worried about that.

Marcus Dell’Artino, a partner at FirstStrategic Communications and Public Affairs, and has worked McCain campaigns in the past. He joined us to talk about McCain's announcement at the Arizona Legislative sessions that wrapped up in record time this week.
