Congressman Patrick McHenry Chief Deputy Whip, US House  
I'm proud to endorse Governor Bush as he seeks the Republican nomination. He has a proven pro-growth, pro-life record and is one of our nation's foremost leaders on school choice and education reform--issues of great importance both here in North Carolina, and nationally. Governor Bush's clear, conservative vision for greater American prosperity leave me no doubt he is the best candidate to win North Carolina in March, again in November, and ensure a Republican is returned to the White House.

NC Senator Tom Apodaca
I’m proud to support Governor Jeb Bush as my choice for President. Governor Bush led with a bold reform agenda in Florida that pushed for greater school choice for everyone and helped create more and better jobs in his state. As a matter of fact, when North Carolinians voted us into power here in 2010, one of the first things we did in the Senate caucus was to closely examine the Jeb record of success in Florida. Many of our reforms that are fostering more and better opportunities for North Carolinians across the board are based on what Jeb Bush did as Governor. Just like Florida under Jeb Bush, North Carolina is now creating jobs instead of losing jobs. I believe Governor Bush will put America back to work.
 
NC Representative Charles Jeter
I’m proud to support Jeb Bush for President. As we have seen for the past seven years, the presidency is not the place for on-the-job training. Jeb Bush is ready to lead from day one and that is what America needs. Jeb Bush is an executive with an already proven track record of getting people back to work and getting government out of the way.
 
NC Senator Brent Jackson
I support Jeb Bush for President because he understands how to create jobs. As the Governor of Florida, he worked to get government overregulation out of the way of the job creators. I run a family farm when I’m not stuck in Raleigh so I know first-hand the challenges of managing a successful business. Jeb Bush does too and he’s got a proven record of success as Florida’s governor getting people back to work.
