Ambassador John Bolton Endorses Three GOP Candidates
The John Bolton PAC makes contributions to the three campaigns.
WASHINGTON, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ambassador John Bolton endorses Sen. David Vitter, U.S. Senator from the state of Louisiana running for Governor, Rep. Ron DeSantis, the incumbent Congressman from Florida's 6th district, and Dr. Paul Chabot, candidate for Congress in California's 31st district. The Bolton PAC will donate $10,000 to DeSantis' campaign and Chabot will receive $5,000, while Sen. David Vitter's campaign will receive a contribution for $10,000.
These are the first endorsements in primary elections by Ambassador Bolton, and his first endorsements of 2015. Bolton is committed to supporting candidates for elected office who believe in protecting the United States' vital freedoms at home by securing American interests in a challenging world.
Statements from Bolton on each candidate:
Bolton on Vitter: "As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, David has proven himself to be a trustworthy leader in supporting our military while improving America's intelligence systems. David understands the importance of supporting our allies and actively works with them to maintain a safe environment for American citizens. I look forward to seeing David lead the state of Louisiana."
Bolton on DeSantis: "As chairman of the National Security subcommittee, Ron has demonstrated an ability to focus on the most demanding issues. A Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, Ron brings to Washington loyalty to his country and sound Republican ideologies that reflect our founding fathers' principles to prioritize the safety of Americans at home and abroad. I am proud to support him and know he's the right leader for Florida's 6th district."
Bolton on Chabot: "Paul is an Iraq War veteran with extensive experience in law enforcement and the intelligence services. As a Navy Reservist Paul has spoken at the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and at the White House. His work has demonstrated a profound understanding and devotion to national security. I believe Paul is the best candidate to represent CA-31 in Washington."
