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 already did. My ballot has been mailed.
Sinema...funny how her bi-sexual background is kept out of the campaign. Hot? I don’t know about that. McSally comes across as being and looking harsh and Ward is not bad looking.
Just my opinion, of course.
“Well, this helps McSally (maybe), but whoever wins this primary, Kyrsten Sinema will be very difficult to defeat”
From Wikipedia...
“Sinema is now the only openly non-theist or atheist member of Congress,[101][102] although she herself has rejected such labels.[42] She is also the first openly bisexual member of Congress.”
Pictures or it’s a lie
just...........damn
I’m an Arizonan and would not vote for carpetbagger McCain. I would not vote Flake backed with the millions from his Mormon Mafia. I wanted JD Hayworth, and others. Now I’m sure you voted McCain and Flake, and you are probably a Phoenix moron cheering on the senile Arpaio so McSally will win. So why don’t you STFU.
The reality is a vote for Sheriff Joe is a vote for the RINO McSally.
Only a closet RINO would support Sheriff Joe.
Federal Unions may not have the iron lock on policy that their state and local brethren have but they are far from toothless.
You ever have a job where you can use drugs, not show up, beat your wife, fight your boss and steal from the till?
Hundreds of Thousands of people have that now courtesy of the Federal Government. Seriously, once you get your two years “you are made” Civil Service Protections are Beyond ridiculous. Worse than the Mafia. Really.
And this is not some bash against the federal workforce — most people do their job well, probably more so there than other places. Still.
Dumb as a fence post.
GOP establishment got Sheriff Joe to run to hurt Ward. The other candidate had her chance to demonstrate character and leadership instead she fell right in with Americas enemies. Looking forward to casting my vote.
Great! I have voted by mail in the past. I no longer believe mail in ballots are properly counted. Further mail in voting is perfect for dimocrat voter fraud activities. So I have decided to vote in person. I figure my vote has a better chance of being counted, but only slightly better.
Not...
I have often wondered if those ballots are truly counted. I vote this way because I don’t have a vehicle.
McSally is supposed to be another McCain. This is very unfortunate.
If she’s hot, so is Greenland.
I vote in person because a candidate can declare victory before the mail ins are all counted
it’s a lie. major muffin top. if you think she’s hot, it’s because you’re in prison, and have been there a very long time.
You’re only helping the Democrat get elected with a vote for Joe. Does this really seem like an election where you want to throw away your vote?
It’s like the Democrats who voted Green Party in Ohio.
Sheriff Joe is in his mid eighties, friend. Even if elected, he probably would not finish out his term.
He is going to wind up taking votes away from Kelli Ward, which will likely hand the race to The RINO establishment candidate, McSally.
I love Sheriff Joe too, but his time has passed. He can do the most good by withdrawing from the race, and give Kelli Ward his full throated endorsement.
Me too. sent her some bucks as well, even though it means being on The List forever.
