SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., took home a key endorsement Wednesday from the National Border Patrol Council as she looks to show off her immigration credentials and break free from a contentious GOP Senate primary battle set for Aug. 28.
McSally, a two-term congresswoman from Tucson, was flanked by national and local border officials who heaped praise on her work to curb illegal immigration and as the only person in the race to be a consistent voice for these issues. She won the endorsement over Dr. Kelli Ward, a chief critic of McSally, who has tried to make immigration a central issue of her campaign.
"There is only one person in this race on either side who is working with President Trump and our border patrol agents to finally secure our border," McSally said in her remarks. She proceeded to rattle off a list of Trump's immigration-related goals, including building a wall along the southern border and increasing the number of border patrol agents.
...
"To us, she was a no-brainer," Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told the Washington Examiner following the announcement. "I spend an awful lot of time on the Hill, I spend an awful lot of time talking with senators, House of Representatives, and Martha McSally has always been receptive."
"For border security purposes, she is the person," said Judd, a vocal ally of Trump.

I am voting for K. Ward.
Support Arpaio!! He supported us!!
Yes!
Vote Big or Don’t Bother
Judd is a horse’s patoot. To support a candidate who has been for open borders practically her whole political career is the height of stupidity. But then, that’s par for the course in Arizona.
Sinema is hot. She looks like a woman and dresses like one, soft colors and sleeveless dresses. Ward can win on issues. If Martha McCain of the GOP-e loser clan wins, all bets are off.
Ward would make a great Senator, if we can get her in.
She does not belong to anyone.
McSally is part of the McCain organization, I have heard.
Who did you want us to vote for the last two elections? McCain/Kirkpatrick, or Flake/Carmona? Tell me how you would vote. Then STFU.
This doesn’t sound too good for us, does it? I’m not looking forward to having a McLame clone.
RIDICULOUS that federal employees have Unions.
It is the last bastion of Old World Socialism — our federal workforce.
McLiar Sally is a Good Little GOPe girl
She will turn Southern Arizona into Mexico
Since it’s already close, she won’t have much to do: just sit back and let the Invasion happen
Hope she gets her 30 pieces of silver
I’m concerned too but I only have one vote so other than endorsing Ward; there’s not much more I can do but hope others see what I see.
No, thank you very much.
I love Sheriff Joe; however doing the full Ross Perot or Todd Akin supports only the Dems.
(At some point, we will learn this.)
.
Agreed. Arpaio is way too old! He is like 85!
I see Biden supports Sinema. HaHahahahahaha!! That’s like having Pee Wee Herman backing you!!
Sounds like her vote is for sale...not good.
“To us, she was a no-brainer,”
Yeah, I’d describe the endorsement as “No Brain” too!
Me too, amazed they are endorsing McAally
Joe needs to pull out. He’s hurting Ward
