JIM WARD

Republican Candidate for Congressional District 5

We are losing our country and we must take it back this fall. The only way that's going to happen is to win back the House of Representatives district by district. But we need the right candidate who can actually beat Harry Mitchell this time around here in the 5th CD because others have failed in the past to get the job done.

I'm the best candidate because I will beat Harry Mitchell.

I'm the best candidate because I'm willing to fight for our country. My wife Dawne and I have adopted two little girls from China. We brought them to this country to have the same opportunities we all had. But I'm seeing those opportunities disappear daily. My mission is to fight for the future of my daughters and to fight for you.

I'm the best candidate because I'm not a professional politician like others in this race nor have I ever held public office. I'm a businessman who's made a payroll, created jobs and balanced a budget.

I'm the best candidate because every step of my business career I've been an outsider, asked to come in and shake up the establishment. In fact, the Wall Street Journal called me, along with five other candidates across the country, an "anti-establishment outsider" ready to beat the incumbent Democrat.

I'm the best candidate because I've been endorsed by Congressman John Shadegg and others who know that I'm the only candidate in the primary that can defeat Harry Mitchell this fall and will carry on a conservative legacy in Washington D.C.

I'm the best candidate because I have the courage to go to Washington and defend our Constitution, restore fiscal responsibility, fight for our liberties and stop the government from spending our children's future into oblivion.
