Third Debate Declared a Win for Carly FiorinaConcord, NH – Tonight, CNBC hosted the third official Republican Primary debate in Boulder, Colo. Carly Fiorina joined nine other Republican candidates on the main debate stage, which was moderated by NBC's Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood and broadcast from the Coors Events Center at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Bettie Lamontagne, Grassroots Republican Activist:
“Carly’s utilized another opportunity to introduce herself to the American people. She articulates a strong command of the issues – demonstrating she has one of the best minds on the stage. I expect support for her will continue to grow as more and more people see and hear Carly.”
The Honorable Tom Eaton, former New Hampshire State Senate President:
“Living in New Hampshire all my life, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many presidential contenders. The first time I met Carly Fiorina, I knew she had something special. I remember being impressed by her character, her ability to communicate, and her intellect. Carly is aware, poised, grounded, and confident. Simply put, she is presidential – I’m not surprised at all by her strong performance tonight.”
Iowa Senator David Johnson, Ocheyedan:
“I have said it before and I'll say it again: Carly Fiorina brings new life to our party. She knows the best way to strengthen our economy is by nurturing innovation, creativity and ingenuity. Washington can only be stifled by someone who challenges the status quo. Carly is that candidate. She can communicate the GOP’s goals most effectively – that’s why I am proud to say I support her tonight.”
Dan Stadtmueller, Farmer, Monticello:
“Carly understands why America is special. Beginning as a secretary and working her way up to become the CEO of one of the largest companies in the world, Hewlett-Packard, Carly has benefitted from working hard and taking advantage of tremendous opportunities. Now, she’s on the debate stage in a presidential primary election – she’s an inspiration to me and to Americans everywhere. Moreover, she doesn’t take her success for granted – she wants to serve in the White House where she will work hard to ensure that the opportunities she’s enjoyed are available to future generations of Americans.”
Mark Kent, CEO of Kentwool:
“Carly Fiorina shined tonight. She’s proven again that she has the acumen to lead policy debates with the top minds in politics. In a few short months, Carly has gone from being a little-known candidate to a top tier contender in this race. I am confident Carly Fiorina will continue to rise. She’s the best person we have running for the White House.”
Mike Brennan, State President, BB&T Bank:
“Carly has the unique ability to distill complex policy positions into everyday language that makes sense to everyone. I am drawn to Carly's unique gift to effectively communicate the conservative message far and wide. We saw that gift on full display tonight. Carly was a breath of fresh air on the debate stage, and once again proved herself as a dynamic leader and the best candidate for the job.”
