Ex-sheriff backed by Trump storms to victory in race to replace longtime GOP firebrand

Mark Lamb, a sheriff with the backing of President Donald Trump, won a GOP primary on Tuesday evening to fill the seat of outgoing Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., in the Grand Canyon State’s fifth congressional district.

The victory puts Lamb on a trajectory to win the seat in November which, in the past, has heavily leaned Republican.

Lamb has framed his race as part of a larger effort to protect the cultural fabric of the country, championing "God, family freedom."
