Meet Kelli Ward, the Anti-Amnesty State Senator Taking on John McCain in Arizona

Kelli Ward is preparing for a long summer. With Arizona’s congressional primaries seemingly far off on the horizon in August, the former Arizona state senator has a ways to go on the road to unseat sitting Senator John McCain (AZ-R).

Despite the facing daunting challenge of taking on a three-decade incumbent, Ward sees that this just might be the time to do it, according to a phone interview with Conservative Review on Wednesday. “You’ve seen it across the whole country, people are angry, upset, disappointed and disgusted with Washington, DC, with inside the beltway politics, and I see that right here in Arizona as well. But I think that people are turning that negativity to positivity,” said Ward of the support she’s seen for her candidacy. “And it really is giving people hope that we can turn the Senate more conservative than it is, and that the conservatives that are currently there are people like Senator [Ted] Cruz, Senator [Rand] Paul and Senator [Mike] Lee are going to have reinforcements to help them actually get things done to put this country on the right track.”

Immigration and veterans issues are two of the big issues on which Ward, who has been endorsed by CR’s Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin, has been hitting McCain hard, she said in the interview. “Stop holding hearings,” she implored.

“[McCain] basically failed us [on immigration]. He lied; He said he wanted to build a [border] fence and then he ran right to the gang of eight amnesty bill, and the comprehensive immigration reform that we all know is code for amnesty,” said the candidate. “So that on the ground here in Arizona is very, very important.”

It’s about time someone took on McCain, I hope she beats him. He should go home and rock on his porch.

As AZ residents we love singing the praises of Ward to the McCain phone pollsters. My wife gets so indignant with them that they get tickled.

If the people of Arizona do not Cantorize the WORST Senator (now that Drunk Ted is dead) after all of his amnesty attempts, they should just elect a Democrat.

“He should go home and rock on his porch.”

For his sake, I hope when that happens, he is better with a rocker than flying an US Navy plane.

I hope that the Levin endorsement doesn’t hurt her.
