J.D. Hayworth has been a radio and television personality, business management consultant, and public policy advocate. Still, most of Arizona knows J.D. from his time spent in Congress, to which he was elected as part of the Republican Revolution in 1994. While in the House, he built a stellar record as a Consistent Conservative. He maintained an "A" rating from the NRA and a 100% Pro-Life voting record. J.D. also compiled a lifetime rating of 89 from Citizens Against Government Waste and a lifetime rating of 98 from the American Conservative Union.
During his twelve years in the House, J.D. became the first Arizonan to serve on the Ways and Means Committee where he helped write the Bush Tax Cuts of 2001 and 2003. He also was the lead sponsor of the new Education Land Grant Act, which instituted a uniform way for rural school districts to obtain non-environmentally sensitive federal land for school construction, and he helped expand the boundaries of the Walnut Canyon National Monument.
In 2003, J.D. accepted an invitation from residents of Southern Arizona to visit the border and see first hand how illegal immigration and the flow of drugs and violence north across the U.S. border impacted their lives. This eye-opening experience encouraged J.D. to get more involved in the fight against illegal immigration, and within a short while he was a national leader in the effort. He even authored a book, Whatever It Takes, that is widely considered the definitive source on how to combat illegal immigration and improve border security.
After his six terms in Congress, Citizens United named J.D. as its first "Ronald Reagan Fellow." Hayworth is also a "Paul Harris Fellow" of Rotary International, and an Eagle Scout.
A devoted family man, J.D. is happily married to Mary, and they are blessed with 3 children, Nicole, Hannah, and John Micah. J.D. graduated cum laude from North Carolina State University in 1980, with a double major in Political Science and Speech-Communication. He attended N.C. State on a football scholarship, and served as Student Body President his senior year. The Hayworth family attends Scottsdale First Assembly Church.

JD Hayworth is superior to John McCain for many more reasons than I can list here. McCain has had 28 years to protect law-abiding citizens from illegal entry. He did Nothing except try to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform (cosponsors were Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama). Arizonans FOUGHT that bill, remember? JD Hayworth did more than anybody to derail it.
JD Hayworth also helped to AUTHOR the Bush Tax Cuts of 2001. McCain fought that, calling them Tax Cuts for the rich! Really? Just wait until 1/2011 and see if your average American paycheck is smaller, when all you rich people see the tax increases roar back.
JD Hayworth has a 100% pro-life voting record. McCain supports embryonic stem cell research even though it means destruction of the embryo. Further, McCain's unconstitutional McCain-Feingold bill would have silenced groups like National Right to Life during elections.
Larry "Lucky" Chesley, a Viet Nam vet and former POW for over 7 years, strongly supports JD Hayworth.
20 Arizona and Nationwide TEA Party groups--who cherish Individual Liberty and Free Enterprise and the preservation of our Constitution--have endorsed JD Hayworth.
I could go on and on....

Over the past year, several TEA Party groups formed all over Arizona. In addition to the large rallies, each group is grassroots and independent of the other. Most groups have weekly classes where they teach the Constitution and learn about the candidates. Until recently, none of the TEA Party groups were endorsing candidates but 16 TEA Party groups decided to join together with the sole purpose to endorse/ support J.D. Hayworth.
Both John McCain and Jim Deakin were claiming to have the TEA Party support so these groups wanted to set the record straight. During the past year, Jim Deakin went from TEA Party group to TEA Party group hoping to get their support. Sadly enough, Jim Deakin now tries to say that these are "fake TEA Party groups" since they endorsed J.D. Hayworth. The 16 TEA Party groups that are endorsing/supporting J.D. Hayworth are filled with thousands of patriots across Arizona. They are "real" and have much to say about Constitutionally Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility and Free Markets.

Members of the Tea Parties across this State are the most informed voters you could ever meet. When an endorsement is made, they do not make that decision lightly. 16 Tea Parties have endorsed/supported him for a reason. John McCain has been in the Washington bubble for 28 years. He has become disconnected with the voters of this state. Conversely, JD Hayworth has spent years on the radio listening to the voters and their frustrations with Washington politicians. That connection and understanding of what "we the people" expect from our representatives will give him a strong platform as our next Senator.
JD Hayworth believes in the principles of the Tea Party Patriots in Constitutionally Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility and Free Markets. His stance on immigration is clear, no amnesty.
In order to fight the liberal agenda of this administration, we will need a strong advocate for the voice of “we the people”.

JD will reintroduce the "Enforcement First Act" in the US Congress to secure our border and protect citizens from the rising violence. JD will reintroduce the "Congressional Responsibility Act" limiting runaway regulations by mandating proposed regulations (by the regulatory agencies) first be approved by the House and Senate before being enacted. JD will introduce the "Constitutional Citation Act" requiring all bills presented to US Congress identify which provision of the Constitution authorizes such an action (would eliminate Obamacare). JD will introduce legislation to repeal Obamacare. JD will introduce bills to audit the Federal Reserve and to balance the budget. JD Hayworth is the only Senatorial candidate backed by major AZ Tea Parties (16) while his opponents only have endorsements from a few individuals. I regularly visit 2-3 tea parties a week and can verify that JD is our favorite-by a HUGE Majority!

JD deserve a chance to do what McCain did not do!
He has the knowledg, the intelligence and the articulation skills to fight the Obama government takeover of America to replace our Republic with the Islamic law of Sharia, and the Queran.
We have a fight on our hands to hold on to this country ,and JD Hayworth has the abiltiy to wage the war against this madness!
