I’ve always wondered if the A-10 was saved because of John McCain, the now decreased senior AZ Senator. A-10s are based out of Davis Monthan Air Force base (possibly others) in Tucson AZ.

McCain was extremely powerful, as chairman of the armed services committee, he could have help prevent the A-10 retirement.
