(Jackson, MI) – Jason Lindauer, Mayor of the City of Chelsea in Washtenaw County, today announced his endorsement of Brian Rooney in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District.
“I am proud to endorse Brian Rooney for Congress,” said Mayor Lindauer. “Washtenaw County and other counties in our area have been hit hard by these tough economic times. As the business candidate, Brian understands what we need to do to bring jobs to Washtenaw County and the rest of Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. He knows that we need to cut federal spending, reduce the tax burden on businesses and people, and simplify regulation so that we can revitalize our economy and bring businesses – and jobs – to our region.”
In accepting the endorsement, Rooney said, “I greatly appreciate Mayor Lindauer’s support. I look forward to working with Mayor Lindauer and other local government leaders to create an environment conducive to job creation and economic growth.

Get Out and Vote on Primary Election Day, Tuesday, August 3rd and Support Pro-Jobs, Pro-Taxpayer Candidates
Primary Election Day is just around the corner, so now is the time to complete your evaluation of the candidates and determine who you will vote for on August 3rd. Polls open statewide at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.
As Michigan Chamber President & CEO Rich Studley noted in his column in the Summer 2010 edition of Michigan Forward Quarterly, the “next generation of political leaders will make many policy decisions that have a major impact on employers throughout the state… if job providers are not actively involved in the legislative and political arenas, individuals and groups who do not understand or care about free enterprise will be glad to chart the direction of state government… Democracy is not a spectator sport.”

(Jackson, MI) – The National Rifle Association today announced that Brian Rooney, Republican candidate for Congress in Michigan’s 7th District, received an “AQ” rating. This rating is the highest that a congressional candidate can receive without having previously held elected office.
“As you know, the Second Amendment and our hunting heritage are very important to voters in Michigan and your positions on these issues demonstrate a commitment to the rights of gun owners and sportsmen,” said Charles Cunningham, Director of Federal Affairs.
In accepting the rating, Rooney said, “I am honored to receive this rating from the National Rifle Association. I am a handgun owner, hunter, marksman, and proud member of the NRA. I have defended our freedoms as a United States Marine and constitutional attorney. I look forward to defending our Second Amendment rights in Congress.”

(Jackson, MI) – Alicia Ping, Saline City Council Member, today announced her endorsement of Brian Rooney in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District.
“I am very excited to endorse Brian Rooney for Congress,” said Ping. “I was not planning on making an endorsement in this primary race but I had a chance to meet Brian in person and I really like what he stands for. I appreciate that he stands for something rather than just voting against everything. It’s definitely refreshing that he understands the issues and has solutions to the problems facing our state and country. Brian wants to create an environment in which job creation is possible – and encouraged – which is exactly what we need.”
Ping continued, “I also greatly admire Brian for his service to our country in the Marine Corps and especially for his service in Iraq. Brian Rooney will be a true statesman and I am confident that he will represent us well.”
