(AP) - Donald Trump Jr. campaigned in a Republican stronghold in metro Phoenix for U.S. Senate candidate Martha McSally at a rally aimed at improving GOP voter turnout next week.

The 15-minute speech by President Donald Trump's oldest son in the retirement community of Sun City focused heavily on touting his father's leadership and complaining that news organizations don't treat conservatives fairly.
    
McSally spoke approvingly of the president's record on the economic growth and noted that she has worked with him on improving border security.
    
Meanwhile, McSally's Democratic opponent, Kyrsten Sinema, rallied supporters at a phone bank in Phoenix before heading to Tucson for more retail campaigning.
    
McSally and Sinema are running to replace retiring Republican Sen. Jeff Flake.
