John David "J. D." Hayworth, Jr. (born July 12, 1958) is an American politician and news anchor who served as a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 2007 from Arizona's 5th Congressional District. He currently hosts Newsmax Prime, a television news/talk prime time show that airs weekdays at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific on Newsmax TV. Previously, he hosted a conservative talk radio program on KFYI in Phoenix until January 2010, when he resigned due to his run for the Senate.
A graduate of North Carolina State University, Hayworth anchored sports reports for three television stations during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1994, Hayworth was elected to represent Arizona's 6th congressional district, which was redistricted into the 5th District starting in the 2002 House elections.
Hayworth was unsuccessful in his race against incumbent Senator John McCain for the Republican nomination to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate in 2010.
Hayworth was born in High Point, North Carolina. His grandfather, Ray Hayworth, was a Major League Baseball catcher from 1926 to 1945.
