Washington - Club for Growth PAC announced two endorsements today in open seat races for the U.S. House of Representatives – State Senator Tim Huelskamp in Kansas' First Congressional District and State Representative Tom Graves in Georgia's Ninth Congressional District. Both candidates are proven conservative leaders with strong records in support of pro-growth fiscal policies.
"Tim Huelskamp stands out as a champion of limited government and economic freedom," said Club President Chris Chocola. "Unlike some of the other Republicans in this race, Tim has compiled an impressive record and demonstrated the leadership skills necessary to fight for free-market policies in Congress."
"Tom Graves has been an outspoken advocate for tax relief and budget reform in the Georgia Legislature, and we believe he'll bring that same enthusiasm to Congress," added Chocola. "Tom is an up and coming leader who will stand up for taxpayers and fight to protect our freedoms in Washington."
In the current election cycle, Club for Growth PAC has endorsed four other candidates for Congress, including Kevin Calvey in Oklahoma’s Fifth District, Pat Toomey for Senate in Pennsylvania, and incumbent Senators Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn.
"In politics, it's rare to find the consistent and outstanding records we've seen with Tim Huelskamp and Tom Graves," Chocola concluded. "As we face the prospect of bigger government, more spending, and higher taxes under President Obama, it is all the more important to support such principled leaders who will be strong fiscal conservatives in Congress."
