GING-PAC is endorsing Vaughn Ward, a man who has an amazing personal story.
Vaughn Ward was raised by a single mom in Shoeshone, Idaho. He played football in high school and at Boise State University. He graduated with a degree in political science and volunteered in a Senate campaign for Dirk Kempthorne, who won in 1992. The new Senator was so impressed he took Vaughn Ward to Washington as his Legislative Aid. In 1995 he left the Senator’s office to join the Marine Corp and served in Liberia, Cuba, Japan and Korea. The Marines eventually sent him to Capitol Hill has a military fellow working on the military budget. During this time he Master’s in Business at the University of Maryland and after the 9-11 Jihad attack on New York and Washington he joined the CIA as a Operations Officer and served in the Middle East and Africa.
In 2006 Vaughn Ward took a leave of absence from the CIA to rejoin the Marines for a tour of duty in Iraq where he commanded Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 25th Marines in combat in Fallujah. He received the Bronze Star with Combat V for Valor. After his tour he began the Nevada State Director for the McCain/Palin campaign. Vaughn is married to Kirsten and they have two children.
Vaughn is a man of valor and courage who has served his nation, not just politically, but has put his life on the line for our freedoms. Vaughn Ward is exactly the kind of man we need in Washington rather than career politicians and “community organizers.”
William Murray and Vaughn Ward discuss issues at Capitol Hill meeting.
