(Jackson, MI) - The Brian Rooney for Congress Campaign announced the endorsement of Erick Erickson, managing editor of RedState.com, the largest conservative blog on the internet. It is also the most widely read conservative blog on Capitol Hill and most quoted in the media.
"It's time for fresh blood and new energy for Michigan. People always say we need to get good guys elected, but when they step up to run for office, too often we make them jump through a series of hoops before we support them. Not this time. We need men like Brian Rooney and I hope people will sign on now so we can take back our country with common sense values and a commitment to America like Brian Rooney already showed in the military," said Erickson.
"I am proud to have Erick’s endorsement," said Iraq veteran Rooney. "RedState.com has become one of the most influential voices in the conservative movement and Erick has been a principled advocate for adherence to our party remaining committed to freedom and liberty. I look forward to working with him to bring common sense back to the Congress.”
