Mark Finchem Posts New TV Ad for AZ Secretary of State: ‘I am Endorsed by President Trump, not Doug Ducey’

Arizona State House Representative Mark Finchem posted a new TV ad as he vies to become the next Arizona Secretary of State.

In the ad, Finchem touted his endorsement from former President Donald Trump and that he hasn’t been endorsed by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey.

Finchem declared in the tweet, “Here is my new TV ad. I am the fighter who has proven he will fight to secure our elections.”

“I won’t back down from the radicals. I am endorsed by President Donald J Trump, not Doug Ducey. #ElectionIntegrity,” Finchem explained.

The ad begins with a shot of Trump at an Arizona rally telling the audience that Finchem is “tough as hell, he’s incredible.”

“He is running for a certain position that’s going to be, I think, a very easy victory. Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem is with us tonight and what a job he’s done. Mark, great job Mark,” Trump explained.

The narrator then announced that “When Arizonans had concerns about their elections, Mark Finchem had the courage to hold the hearing that led to the Arizona audit.”

“Endorsed by President Trump, Mark Finchem is the election integrity fighter we need, now,” the narrator concluded.

The ad comes after Ducey announced Wednesday in a tweet that he was endorsing one of Finchem’s primary opponents, Beau Lane.
