Ducey on Thursday used Twitter to thank McSally "for coming forward and speaking out."
He says her disclosure Wednesday during a congressional hearing in Washington "took an amazing of courage and bravery."
Ducey told McSally that "Arizona is with you."
McSally tweeted a message of thanks for support on Thursday, as well.

Ducey appointed McSally, a fellow Republican, in December to replace the late GOP Sen. John McCain after she narrowly lost last year's race for Arizona's other Senate seat to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.
Thank you @SenMcSallyAZ for your bravery. Your courage will help thousands of women seek the help and justice they deserve.
