Grant Woods, the former Republican attorney general of Arizona who also served as the first congressional chief of staff for the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), backed Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in a new ad released Friday.

“Kyrsten Sinema is a tremendous public servant,” Woods says in the video backing her in the Senate race over Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ). Woods, who also supported Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016, has reportedly toyed with the idea of running as a Democrat for McCain’s seat in 2020.
