John David Hayworth, Jr. (born July 12, 1958), usually known as J. D. Hayworth, is an American politician who served as a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from 2003 to 2007 from the 5th District of Arizona (map). He was a television sportscaster and radio journalist before being elected to the House. He hosted a conservative talk radio program on KFYI in Phoenix until January 2010, when he resigned due to his run for Senate.
