2012

Townsend stated the following about her political philosophy in a bio submission to Ballotpedia:

"I believe in limited government, personal responsibility, free-market principles, deregulation of small businesses, American-made companies, and above all else, the rule of law. I am a Navy Veteran who swore an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution, and that oath did not end in 1992 when I was honorably discharged. I demand integrity and principled leadership of myself and my peers, and remembering where I have come from, I have a heart of compassion for the less fortunate. I expect top quality schools for my children and your children, and I will work to make sure common sense steps are taken to raise our standards and output in our schools. I am pro-life and pro-family, pro-second amendment, and pro-liberty. I am a Reagan Republican, but I put country ahead of party. I have pledged allegiance to this Republic and her Constitution, and I intend on voting accordingly. I look forward to representing you!"[1]

Medicaid expansion lawsuit

See also: Can Arizona conservatives beat the clock to block Medicaid expansion from taking effect Jan. 1?

Kelly Townsend was one of the 36 Republican members of the Arizona State Legislature who signed onto a lawsuit brought by the Goldwater Institute in September 2013 against Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) over the expansion of Medicaid in Arizona under provisions of the Affordable Care Act.[17] Brewer announced her support for Medicaid expansion in Arizona in 2013, and by June of that year the legislature had passed a bill expanding Medicaid in the state .[18] In September 2013, the Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank, filed a lawsuit seeking to block the law's implementation. They argued that the law contains a tax and its implementation under the control of the executive branch violates state laws enforcing the separation of powers.[17] In 2015, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled against the 36 Republican lawmakers and the Goldwater Institute, saying that the law contains an assessment, not a tax. The Arizona Court of Appeals upheld the Superior Court's 2015 ruling on March 16, 2017.[19]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Arizona

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
