State Sen. Anthony Kern Involved in Serious Crash, Reports Emerge

Senator Anthony Kern of Arizona’s District 27 was involved in a serious car accident, sparking concern among his colleagues and the public.

According to Kim Quintero, communications director for the Arizona State Senate Republican Caucus, Kern was injured in South Dakota but is currently in stable condition at a local hospital. Quintero has yet to provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the crash.

The news broke shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, originating from a post by Tyler Bowyer, COO of Turning Point USA. Bowyer urged the community to keep Kern and others affected by the accident in their prayers.

Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen also shared an update on social media, confirming Kern’s injuries but reassuring followers of his stable condition. He expressed hope for Kern’s quick recovery.

The Arizona State Senate Democratic Caucus expressed their support as well, wishing Kern a complete and speedy recovery. This incident has bridged political divides, with both sides of the aisle reflecting concern for the senator’s well-being.

Kern has served in the Arizona State Senate since January 2023. His term will conclude next month as he chose not to seek re-election. He previously ran for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District but lost in the Republican primary in July. Kern also faced legal challenges, having been charged with nine felonies relating to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.

As the community awaits more news on his condition, prayers and supportive messages continue to pour in for the senator. The focus remains on his recovery and the families affected by the incident.
