KJZZ's Friday NewsCap: Can a non-MAGA Republican prevail in Debbie Lesko's congressional district?

KJZZ’s Friday NewsCap revisits some of the biggest stories of the week from Arizona and beyond.

Three new candidates — Ben Toma, Anthony Kern and Trent Franks — have entered the race to replace U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District. And members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors are under investigation by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes because of their actions around certifying the 2022 election.

To break down those headlines and more, The Show sat down with Matthew Benson of Veridus and Dawn Penich-Thacker of Agave Strategy.
