Sinema, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2012, will go on to face fellow Representative Martha McSally, Dr. Kelli Ward or former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio--the three leading candidates on the Republican side.
In her Senate campaign, Sinema focused on affordable health care and her willingness to work across the aisle. She had a significant cash advantage and deep well of establishment support.
The seat being vacated by Flake's retirement is considered a key potential pickup for Democrats in their bid to take control of the Senate in November.
