Chris Hackett Wins RedState Endorsement
Dallas, PA – Conservative Republican Congressional candidate Chris Hackett today was endorsed by RedState, a widely-read pioneering conservative grassroots website. This endorsement adds to the rising tide of support Chris Hackett has received from grassroots conservative organizations including the Club for Growth PAC, Associated Builders and Contractors, Pennsylvania Eagle Forum, and Concerned Women for America PAC.
"Chris Hackett, unlike his opponent [Chris Carney], knows how tax cuts and tax hikes, spending cuts and spending hikes, and regulation and deregulation affect small businesses. We need people with real world experience in Washington. We need people like Chris Hackett in Washington," said Erick Erickson, Chairman of RedState's Board of Directors and Editor.
"Chris Hackett is also an entrepreneur. Having purchased SHS TechStaffing, a recruiting an temp staffing business, he grew and expanded the company inside the 10th Congressional District and then through Pennsylvania and several other states," Erickson added.
"I am proud to have the endorsement of RedState," Chris Hackett said. "The Board of Directors of RedState and the many hundreds of contributors on the website are the vanguard of the grassroots movement to cut taxes, end wasteful spending, ban earmarks, and curb illegal immigration. I look forward to working with conservative grassroots activists district-wide during this campaign and to serving the taxpayers of the 10th District in Congress."
"Washington needs reform, and Chris Carney has proven he is not a reformer, but just another member of the pork-spending crowd who cares more about getting along with liberal leaders like Charlie Rangel than about his constituents. We need to get our economy moving with tax cuts and an end to wasteful spending. I intend to work hard from Day One to end the corrupt Washington earmarking process and to create an environment where more jobs will be created in our district," Hackett concluded.
