Republican Rick Torres was endorsed today by Congressman Ron Paul. Speaking from his Campaign HQ in Bridgeport this afternoon Rick Torres said "It is It is with great honor that today I accept the endorsement of Congressman Ron Paul. I have spoken to Congressman Paul several times over the course of the Campaign and I look forward to working with him after I defeat Jim Himes this November. This endorsement further solidifies my Conservative principles and demonstrates that I am best suited to beat Jim Himes this November."
Mr. Torres added "This endorsement is our second major endorsement in as many days. Yesterday Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed me after withdrawing their endorsement of Rob Merkle. Congressman Ron Paul's endorsement today is nothing short of a game-changer. The momentum is at our back. Our polling indicates that our message is rapidly gaining. With this endorsement we are all the more confident that we will win on August 10th."
The full endorsement is below.
"I am proud to announce that I have endorsed Rick Torres for Congress in the Connecticut's 4th district. Rick is a real Liberty lover and has a tremendously inspiring story. Here is a video he made about his background.
Again, please consider supporting Rick in any way you are comfortable – whether it is financially, with your time as a volunteer and, most importantly, with your vote.
Big things are happening across the Country, and Connecticut has a great opportunity to tell Washington that we demand free markets, sound money and common sense, Pro-America foreign policy.
I hope you will join me in supporting Rick Torres.
