Club for Growth PAC Endorses 3 Senate Candidates
WASHINGTON, DC - The political action arm of the influential and well-funded Club for Growth, with 9 wins and only 3 losses this election cycle, today endorsed three candidates for the U.S. Senate: Michael Bouchard in Michigan, Michael Steele in Maryland, and Mike McGavick in Washington. Bouchard and McGavick are challenging vulnerable incumbent Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA), while Steele is running for an open seat in Maryland.
"The Club for Growth PAC is making a big difference this election cycle: we're helping pro-growth candidates win and knocking anti-growth candidates out. We're excited about these candidates and their commitment to cut taxes, cut spending and growing the economy. Jobs and the economy are one of the top priorities to voters, and we will make it clear in each of these races what is at stake," said Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth.
MIKE BOUCHARD FOR SENATE - MICHIGAN
"The Club for Growth PAC is proud to support Mike Bouchard because of his strong pro-growth and pro-jobs agenda, which is what Michigan needs most. Sen. Stabenow, on the other hand, has voted repeatedly to kill tax relief, increase Washington spending, and threaten economic growth," said Toomey.
"Sen. Stabenow is good at one thing, however, which is raising piles of campaign cash. The Club for Growth PAC wants to make sure that Mike Bouchard gets a fair chance to talk about his record. With our support, we're confident that he will," said Toomey.
The Club for Growth PAC has already helped one pro-growth candidate win in Michigan this year when it endorsed Tim Walberg early in his race against Congressman Joe Schwarz and raised over $600,000 for his campaign. In addition, the Club for Growth PAC spent over $500,000 in independent expenditures including hard-hitting TV and radio ads that underscored Joe Schwarz's liberal record on economic issues.
"The Club for Growth PAC already helped Tim Walberg defeat one anti-growth incumbent from Michigan, and now we want to do the same for Mike Bouchard," said Toomey.
MICHAEL STEELE FOR SENATE - MARYLAND
"Michael Steele is a strong leader who knows that opportunity and economic growth are the keys to a bright future, not more government spending and higher taxes. Two of his leading opponents have a different view, as both have voted for an array of higher taxes and more spending in Congress. Michael Steele has a very good chance to be the first pro-growth Senator from Maryland in many years," said Toomey.
MIKE MCGAVICK FOR SENATE - WASHINGTON
"Mike McGavick has very strong free-market credentials and knows that limited government and low taxes lead to more jobs and more opportunity for workers. Senator Maria Cantwell talks a good game, but too often is voting the other way, siding with more taxes that could threaten the strong economic growth we've experienced in the past few years. The Club for Growth PAC wants to make sure that Mike McGavick gets a fair chance to talk about his record. With our support, we're confident that he will," said Toomey.
