Ron Paul Endorses Kelli Ward in AZ Senate RaceFormer Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul today endorsed Kelli Ward, the conservative challenger seeking to retire U.S. Senator John McCain.
Dr. Paul and Kelli Ward are both Duke alumni and family practice physicians, but they also share many similarities in their political convictions.
Paul wrote in a letter to Ward:
“As a physician, you have seen first-hand how ObamaCare has reduced our liberties in just a few short years.
During your time as state senator, you have fought to reduce the size of government and restore the liberties of Arizonans.
We need to elect more people into the U.S. Senate to stand alongside my son, Rand Paul.
Because of your dedication to smaller government and restoring more of our personal liberties, I am proud to endorse your campaign for the U.S. Senate.”
Paul, who still produces regular columns and podcasts, has been called “the Thomas Jefferson of our day” and “the intellectual godfather of the TEA Party movement.”
Former Arizona State Senator reacted to Paul’s announcement:
“Ron Paul’s support is another sign of our amazing momentum to retire John McCain. Dr. Paul is the gold standard of conservative leadership that I plan to abide by: never vote for legislation that is not expressly
authorized by the Constitution.
“Like Dr. Paul, I will take up the torch of liberty and fight tirelessly alongside Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ted Cruz for limited, constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to honest money. No tax hikes, unbalanced budgets, congressional perks or pay raises, or abdications of power to the executive branch.”
Young people and liberty-minded Republicans across America are starting to take notice of her race, Ward highlighted:
“The “Ron Paul Revolution” has inspired a new generation to fight for America’s founding principles. Younger voters especially are astounded that Senator McCain has been in DC for $17.5 trillion of the $19 trillion national debt, voting for at least 21 debt ceiling increases along the way. My strong record of standing up to the leadership of both parties to dramatically reduce the size of government and return to constitutional principles is attracting them to our team.”
