Trump Just Endorsed Kelli Ward Over Arizona Senator Jeff Flake. Here Are 5 Things You Need To Know About Her.
Here are five things you need to know about Ward:
1. Ward has continued to work in the field of medicine even as she served in the Arizona state legislature and while campaigning. According to her state senate biography, Ward attended the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine for medical school and founded Lakeview Family Health Care with Dr. Lorraine Byrd, her mother. Ward now works as a emergency care physician in Lake Havasu and Kingman.
2. Ward's voting record in the state legislature seems to be solidly conservative. Her Vote Smart profileshows Ward receiving a lifetime rating of 98% from the American Conservative Union (ACU), 100% from the Arizona Small Business Association, 86% from the National Rifle Association (NRA), and 83% from Americans for Prosperity. During her tenure in the Arizona state senate — 2012 to 2015 — she had 19 bills signed into law. Ward has credited her co-workers for introducing her to conservative talk radio — namely Rush Limbaugh — for her conservative beliefs.
3. Ward attempted to primary Sen. John McCain in 2016, to no avail. McCain won 51.2% of the vote, while Ward only received 39.9%. However, Ward claims she was outspent by a margin of 10 to 1 and noted that she "held McCain to his lowest historical primary total ever."
