- Sen. Marco Rubio « Press Release from Marco Rubio for President
February 3, 2016
"Marco understands what it’s like to have a massive student debt and to live paycheck to paycheck," said Dr. Barbara Stock Nielsen, Former SC State Superintendent of Education. "He is the only candidate with a reasonable and detailed plan to reform college and technical education to make it more affordable and accessible. I am excited to join this historic campaign for such an exceptional candidate who can unite the country."
"When I hear Marco Rubio speak, I know what he says is coming from the heart," said Terri Gowdy, a teacher from Spartanburg. "He has lived the American Dream and knows firsthand the struggles facing so many Americans today. I am proud to support Marco Rubio because the stakes of this election are sky high and we need a candidate who understands the unique challenges facing America in the 21st century. Marco has the vision, experience, and character to lead our nation into the future."
"Marco Rubio is the only candidate who has what it takes to defeat the Washington establishment and restore limited government," said Leslie Richardson, a Marketing Director from Beaufort. "Ever since his come-from-behind victory against the political establishment in his 2010 Senate race, Marco Rubio has been one of the strongest voices for conservatism that I have ever heard. He has what it takes to defeat Hillary Clinton and recruit a new generation to the conservative cause. I am excited to join his campaign for a New American Century."
"It has been many years since the Republican Party has seen a candidate as exciting as Marco Rubio," said Karen Iacovelli, SC Republican National Committee Finance Chairman. "He is bright, inspiring, optimistic, and extraordinarily talented at communicating the conservative principles that make America great. Marco Rubio has the potential to bring America back from the disastrous Obama presidency to be stronger and more prosperous than ever. That’s why I am joining his campaign for a New American Century."
"I am proud to support Marco Rubio and his campaign to restore American strength around the globe," said Sandy McGarry, Lancaster County Republican Party Executive Committeewoman. "He is the only candidate who has demonstrated a clear understanding of the challenges America faces around the world in this century. He is the only candidate that has offered detailed plans to rebuild America's military, defeat ISIS, roll back Russian aggression, strengthen our alliance with Israel, and most importantly, keep our people safe."
