FP1 Congratulates Senator Cornyn On Decisive Victory

WASHINGTON, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- FP1 Strategies today congratulated Texas Senator and Minority Whip John Cornyn for securing an impressive primary victory in the Lone Star State last night.  Senator Cornyn is running for re-election to the United States Senate where he currently serves in leadership. By securing a majority of the vote, Senator Cornyn avoids a runoff election.

FP1 Partner Rob Jesmer serves as the general consultant for Senator Cornyn's re-election campaign and said, "The entire FP1 team is thrilled that Senator Cornyn was able to earn such an overwhelming victory last night.  Senator Cornyn is a proven leader with a plan to move Texas and our country forward.  After five years of failure under President Obama, Senator Cornyn understands it is more important than ever to elect Republicans this fall and will work harder than ever to accomplish that goal."
