Sarah Palin has endorsed Jeff Flake in the Arizona primary for U.S Senate.
The Flake campaign announced today that former Alaska Governor Sarah
Palin has endorsed Jeff Flake for United States Senate. Jeff Flake
sought Governor Palin’s support and is honored to have it.
In a letter to Jeff, Governor Palin wrote:
“The United States Senate needs a leader like Jeff Flake.
Jeff is a proven conservative crusader, and today I am proud to announce
mysupport for his campaign to become the next U.S. Senator from the
great state of Arizona.
“Throughout his tenure in Congress, Jeff has been a consistent leader
against the federal government’s out of control spending. Jeff is known
for his media releases titled ‘Just How Broke Are We?’ where he brings
home the reality of what our unimaginable $15 trillion debt really means
in everyday terms. For the past eight years, Jeff has been ranked #1 in
the House of Representatives by the National Taxpayers Union for his
efforts against wasteful government spending.
“Credited by many as the leading anti-earmark
crusader in the House, Jeff has fought hard against pork barrel spending
– often times casting one of the few GOP ‘no’ votes on bloated spending
measures. He’s not afraid to ‘go rogue’ against his own party and its
leadership; and even though he has sometimes suffered the consequences
from GOP leaders for failing to toe the party line, yet he continues to
fight for what is right.
“I’ve spoken often about the need for sudden and relentless
reform of government. Jeff is just the sort of ‘relentless reformer’ we
need in the Senate. He will bring his fight against our crippling debt,
reckless spending, and wasteful earmarks to the Senate. Watch this video
at www.mrflaketakesonwashington.com, and you’ll see why I am joining with Senators McCain & Kyl to support Jeff Flake for U.S. Senate.”
