Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl (R) will Resign at the End of this year, forcing Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to Appoint a New Replacement to the late Sen. John McCain's Seat ahead of a 2020 Special Election to fill the Last Two years of McCain's Term.

Kyl sent Ducey a Letter Wednesday announcing his Resignation effective at the End of this Month.

"When I accepted your appointment, I agreed to complete the work of the 115th Congress and then reevaluate continuing to serve," Kyl wrote. "I have concluded that it would be best if I resign so that your new appointee can begin the new term with all other Senators in January 2019 and can serve a full two (potentially four) years."

Ducey's Office said in a Statement that the Governor will Appoint another Replacement in the near future.

Two Prospects are GOP Rep. Martha McSally, who Lost a Campaign for Arizona's other Senate Seat earlier this year, and Kirk Adams (R), Ducey's former Chief-of-Staff and a Fformer Speaker of the Arizona House.

"Senator Kyl didn't need to return to the Senate. His legacy as one of Arizona's most influential and important political figures was already without question," Ducey said. "But he did return and I remain deeply grateful for his willingness to step up and serve again when Arizona needed him."
