AZ had 3 Democratic US Senators in recent history.

Dennis DeConcini, Kyrsten Sinema, and Mark Kelly. What type of US Senator was DeConcini? Was his voting record similar to Sinema or Kelly?

democrat of his time, 77-95. He considered himself something of a centrist, but in fairness a centrist from that time is quite a bit more progressive than Sinema has been.

are Greg Stanton and/or Ruben Gallego. Greg Stanton is a Democrat in the Dennis DeConcini/Mark Kelly mold while Ruben Gallego is probably too liberal to win in the general election.
Mark Kelly and his wife were both percieved as moderates but had progressive voting records. Ruben Gallego is percieved as an urban liberal Democrat from Phoenix.
