Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson Endorses Marco Rubio For President

Today, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson endorsed Marco Rubio for president. The Governor's endorsement adds to the momentum Marco is feeling across the country heading into the March 1 primary.

Before being elected Governor of Arkansas, Hutchinson was a U.S. Attorney for the Fort Smith-based Western District of Arkansas, an Administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and a U.S. Congressman from Arkansas's third congressional district. Hutchinson was also the first Undersecretary at the newly created Department of Homeland Security after the ‪9/11 attack.
“The more I’ve watched this election unfold, the more I’ve come to see that Marco Rubio is the only candidate who can unite our nation the way Ronald Reagan once did," said Governor Hutchinson. "Not only is Marco uniquely capable of rallying Americans behind a conservative vision for the future, but he also fully understands what it takes to keep us safe in this dangerous world. I am endorsing Marco Rubio for president today because we need his optimism and strength in the White House."
 
Governor Hutchinson will be joining other conservative leaders in Arkansas, including former Senator Tim Hutchinson, Arkansas Lt. Governor Tim Griffin, Congressmen Steve Womack and Rick Crawford, and Marco's Arkansas legislative leadership team.
