Pearce has been severely criticized for his stance on illegal immigration.

He says he's been wrongly portrayed and mischaracterized as a "one issue" politician. Pearce points out that during his tenure in the Senate, he was a champion for lowering taxes, reducing government regulation, and other key issues.

Opponents have called him a "good ole boy" politician and a bully who refuses to compromise. Worsely says voters can expect him to be more professional, civil, and business like compared to Pearce.

He predicts that he will defeat Pearce by about 10 points.
