I have been asked who I am endorsing in various contested races in the August 30 primary election. This year it is particularly difficult in some races because it means choosing between friends and colleagues, but since we all only get one vote, here are the candidates I am supporting as it relates to Pima County:
United States Senate: Dr. Kelli Ward. I have served with Kelli in the Legislature and I know first-hand that she is a strong conservative through and through and is a tenacious worker and fighter. After 30 years in the Senate, I think it is time for John McCain to step aside to let us embrace a new voice in Washington.
United State Congress: Sheriff Paul Babeu. As the commanding officer in the Army, Paul Babeu helped secure the Yuma sector in Arizona by stopping 94% of the illegal alien activity and smuggling and has continued that fight as sheriff. No one in the race has done or will do more to secure our border and I believe the unsecure border is one of the biggest threats facing our nation.
Pinal County Board of Supervisors: Anthony Smith & Irene Littleton. Being named ‘Champion of the Taxpayer’ for his strong voting record, Anthony has and will continue to protect our wallets from attempts to increase our taxes and he will continue to work hard for us in Pinal County. Irene Littleton (as the chairman of the Pinal County Republican Committee), worked tirelessly to help get good Republicans elected and now she will bring her expertise to the Board to help grow our economy and fight for the taxpayers.
Pima County Board of Supervisors: Ally Miller. Also the ‘Champion of the Taxpayer’ for her strong voting record, Ally has been the leading advocate in stopping fraud, waste, and abuse in Pima County and will continue to fight for good conservative principles for us.
