Ducey named CEO of free enterprise PAC

Former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced
his first political transfer since leaving the governorship Tuesday, saying
he’ll turn into the brand new CEO of a free enterprise-focused political
motion committee that goals to mobilize free market-oriented voters.

Residents for Free Enterprise,
together with Ducey, introduced Tuesday that he would turn into the brand new head
of the group and could be launching a nationwide effort centered on “the
promotion and preservation of the free enterprise system.”

The tremendous PAC has obtained the overwhelming majority of its cash
from TD Ameritrade Founder Joe Ricketts and has spent completely
in opposition to Democratic candidates. Ducey was beforehand the chair of the
Republican Governors Affiliation, the place he oversaw advertisements that the RGA ran in opposition to Democratic candidates.

“Certainly one of my true passions is in
selling the financial basis that makes America the land of freedom
and alternative. Our free enterprise system has lifted thousands and thousands of
individuals out of poverty and spurred exceptional innovation,” Ducey stated in a
press launch by the PAC concerning the announcement. “Sadly, these
ideas are underneath assault and our group plans to steer an
advocacy effort that can encourage extra individuals who care about free
enterprise to get entangled in elections.”

Ducey declined
to run for U.S. Senate in 2022 and the transfer means that the previous
governor won’t be eyeing the seat sooner or later. The previous CEO of
Chilly Stone Creamery will doubtless be utilizing his prior enterprise expertise
and contacts inside the political world to attempt to assist Republicans each
domestically and nationally.
