Marco Rubio Campaign Announces Arkansas Leadership Team
Today, the Marco Rubio for President campaign is proud to announce the Arkansas Leadership Team. Momentum for Marco continues to grow following a strong debate performance on Saturday night. Today's announcement of the Arkansas Leadership comes following a press conference held by Marco's Arkansas Leadership Team at the Arkansas State Capitol this afternoon, and previous endorsements from former U.S. Senator Tim Hutchinson, Arkansas Lt. Governor Tim Griffin and Congressmen Steve Womack and Rick Crawford. The Leadership Team includes former Huckabee supporters Charlene Fite, Laurie Rushing, Prissy Hickerson, Mickey Gates, and Karilyn Brown.
“I am thrilled that these conservative elected officials are joining with me to support the most electable conservative in this race: Marco Rubio,” said State Senator Bart Hester, Rubio’s campaign chairman in Arkansas. “Marco understands the struggles of working families because he's lived them, and we are proud to be working with him to help all people in Arkansas and across the nation achieve the American Dream.”
“I am happy to join my colleagues here today in supporting Marco Rubio’s leadership team in Arkansas,” said House Majority Leader Ken Bragg. “In the coming days, we will take Marco’s positive message of a New American Century to our constituents, neighbors and friends and let them know why Marco can beat Hillary Clinton in November and move America in a conservative direction.”
“We are thrilled that these key leaders from across Arkansas will be supporting Marco Rubio,” said Jeremy Adler, regional spokesman for the Rubio campaign. “Enthusiasm for Marco’s candidacy continues to grow as conservatives recognize that he’s the one that will beat the Democrats this fall, and we are so glad that these legislators are on board to highlight Marco’s optimistic vision in Arkansas.”
