Jeff Flake is a Republican United States Representative from Arizona. He is a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons).

However, he has broken from many in his party on the issue of the Iraq War. Jeff Flake is running for the 2012 Senate seat of Jon Kyl and is the most likely winner.
Democrats have asked the FBI and the Justice Department to review Flake's campaign activities because voters in Arizona have received robocalls directing voters to the wrong polling locations.[2]
