Kari Lake Halperin[1][2] (/ˈkɛəri/KAIR-ee; born August 23, 1969) is an American former television news anchor. A member of the Republican Party, she is a candidate in the 2024 United States Senate election in Arizona. She was also the Republican nominee in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election.
Beginning her media career in the early 1990s, Lake was the anchor for the Phoenix television station KSAZ-TV from 1999 to 2021.[3] She stepped down from her anchor role shortly before announcing her gubernatorial candidacy and won the Republican nomination with the endorsement of former president Donald Trump.[4][5] Her campaign was marked by various controversies, including promoting false claims of Trump winning the 2020 presidential election and calling for the imprisonment of those who accepted Trump's defeat, including her Democratic opponent, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.[6][7][8] Lake lost the election to Hobbs, but refused to concede and filed several unsuccessful lawsuits to have the results overturned and be declared the winner.[13] Lake was sued for defamation regarding supposed allegations that a Republican election official intentionally sabotaged the 2022 election; Lake proceeded to request default judgment against herself in the lawsuit, and damages owed by Lake are to be assessed.[14][15][16]
