The Governor, Doug Ducey, is running this November. He could appoint Sheriff Joe to serve in the Senate as as a place holder. That would allow Dr Kelli Ward’s vote not to be split and she might break establishment tool RINO Martha McSully away from the nomination. Sheriff Joe might pass before 2020 and then Doug can put himself in the Senate. It is a win-win for all conservative Republicans.
Martha has a whole lot of special PAC money that has come her way. He polling company for issues in the General is already conducting polling with questions phrased as if she has already won the primary.
“The Governor, Doug Ducey, is running this November. He could appoint Sheriff Joe to serve in the Senate as as a place holder.”
Then Ducey loses the election in November because very few voters in Arizona WANT ‘Sheriff Joe’...

It's customary, that once a senator dies, the Senate will pass a bill giving the widow a big sum of $$$$. They give the rich, our money. Pure swamp.
Not so fast. If McCain changes parties before he dies, the Governor must appoint a member of the same party as the deceased.
