Kelli Ward in 2016 AZ Senate race


On Principles & Values: Pro-life; pro-family; pro-freedom

I believe that traditional principles and values strengthen our communities and make America stronger. And looking at my three beautiful kids, I know it's time to step up and do something. I believe that traditional principles and values strengthen our communities and make America stronger.

On Civil Rights: Rated 0% by Stonewall Democrats for anti-gay policies

Group ratings on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity for 2014: Stonewall Democrats of Arizona rate Kelli Ward at 0%, indicating anti-gay policy stances. Mission statement:

"Stonewall Democrats of Arizona is first an LGBTQI organization. It is our goal and intent to help level the playing field, to promote equality--marriage, health, employment and more--for the LGBTQI community. Further, SDA will support equality across the board. Immigration reform, intelligent weapons safety, education, business and welfare, women's rights, the environment, student and senior rights--these are things SDA may also touch on. Our goal is to keep elected Democratic officials in office and get more of our candidates elected, to stand against those in office (and sometimes without) who are against equality and civil rights, to fight harmful Arizona legislation and those who author it, put it forward and support it."

On Free Trade: No secret trade deals; ObamaTrade bad for Americans

John McCain supports the secretive "ObamaTrade" bill. Let me be absolutely clear: It is unconscionable that our representatives would pass a bill that has been kept totally secret from the American public. John McCain should be ashamed of himself.

I support free trade, and free trade doesn't require bills that are kept secret from the taxpayers. If you choose me as your next Senator, you can be sure that I will NOT support bills that are so bad that the American people are not allowed to see them. That is not how this government should be run.
