Marco Rubio endorses Adam Hasner
02/28/2012
There may be a smack-down going on in the Florida GOP primary for U.S. Senate but there is a Republican lovefest going on in one congressional race.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio endorsed Adam Hasner for Congress. Hasner is running in the district that would have been Allen West's had the hard-charging West not bolted north to avoid a tough fight in a district that has a few more Democrats than West can handle.
Rubio joins former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in supporting Hasner who recently dropped out of the U.S. Senate race. Perhaps Hasner's fear of Shiria Law taking over the nation will resonate better in a congressional race.
Now we give you the PRESS RELEASE:
Senator Marco Rubio said, "As my Majority Leader in the Florida House, Adam Hasner and I worked side-by-side taking on the status quo in Tallahassee and together we can do the same thing in Washington. He is a passionate advocate for American values and will fight tirelessly for the needs of Floridians. Adam's proven record of cutting red tape and wasteful spending is well known and his leadership on energy policy and critical national security issues will make him immediately effective in Congress. I am proud to endorse and stand with Adam every step of the way in his bid for the United States House. His conservative, common-sense approach is sure to help us restore our nation's prosperity."
Adam Hasner said, "I am honored to have the support and endorsement from my friend, and my Speaker, Senator Marco Rubio. Serving as his Majority Leader in the Florida House, I was proud to work alongside him to tackle tough issues and advance a conservative reform agenda. Senator Rubio has demonstrated why he is recognized as an inspiring leader for Florida and our nation. His message of opportunity, and his belief in America's greatness, transcends party labels and is embraced by all who dream of brighter futures for our children and grandchildren. I am thankful for his support and look forward to working with him in Washington on behalf of the residents of the coastal communities in Palm Beach and Broward Counties."
