The chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party has been criticized after she sent out a fundraising email promising that the party would stop Mark Kelly, a Democratic Senate candidate, “dead in his tracks.”
Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward came under fire after she sent an email on Sept. 5, expressing the party’s desire to defeat the “gun-grabber” candidate. Kelly, who is a retired astronaut and husband of former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords—who was shot during a mass shooting in 2011 that killed six people—is running on a platform that supports gun control.
