Blake Masters, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona, is officially Chuck Norris approved.
Masters’s campaign announced Friday that Norris, the famous actor and martial artist, has endorsed the Arizona Republican.
“Chuck Norris knows the results in Arizona before Fox News,” Masters’s campaign joked in a separate tweet.

The celebrity endorsement comes as the race has increasingly tightened in recent weeks.
The Cook Political Report recently shifted the Arizona Senate race back to the “toss up” column just one month after it was designated “lean Democrat.” The move reflects “a spate of tightening private polling that has left Democrats worried about one of their strongest incumbents,” Cook explained.
A RealClearPolitics polling average shows incumbent Senator Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) leading Masters by just one percentage point.
