On Government Reform: Signed document falsely claiming to be presidential elector

A U.S. Senate candidate who was one of 11 Arizona Republicans who signed a document falsely claiming he was authorized to cast the state's electoral votes for President Donald Trump said in an interview that the document was only a contingency plan. Jim Lamon, who signed the document making the false claim on Dec. 14, 2020, said he understood he was only asserting himself as one of Arizona's official electors in case the results were decertified.

On Immigration: United States should not accept Afghan refugees

The United States should not accept Afghan refugees, including translators and others who helped the American military during the 20-year war, Lamon said, staking out a hardline stance against a group of immigrants that has had widespread support from both parties. "They should go to countries that are friendly to them and us," Lamon said. "We cannot continue to be the world's refugee camp."
