Chris Hackett Receives ABC Endorsement

Dallas - Businessman Chris Hackett received the endorsement of the Eastern PA Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors in the Republican primary in PA-10. Mr. Hackett owns OneSource Staffing Solutions, a flexible staffing firm with offices across Northeast and Central Pennsylvania and is running to challenge Democrat Congressman Chris Carney in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District next November.

"Mr. Hackett will provide the fiscal responsibility needed to cut taxes, reduce the federal budget deficit and create job growth for the district," said Michael Gibson, President for ABC Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter. Mr. Gibson added, "Mr. Hackett also has a keen understanding of the challenges surrounding the immigration issue."

Associated Builders and Contractors Eastern PA Chapter is an organization representing contractors, suppliers and associates members who believe in the Merit Shop philosophy of construction with 24,000 members in 78 chapters throughout the United States. Previous endorsements include Congressman Pat Toomey, Jim Gerlach and Charlie Dent.

"As a business owner who has created jobs for families in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania, as well as a husband and father, I know first-hand the challenges we face in creating and growing an energetic local economy so our children do not have to move away to build a better life," Hackett said.

"I m delighted to receive this support from ABC. They have been leaders in identifying conservative candidates who understand and support the free market."
