Freedom Caucus Co-Founder Matt Salmon Endorses Marco Rubio for President

Today, co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus, Congressman Matt Salmon of Arizona’s 5th District, endorsed Marco Rubio for President. Salmon's announcement means that Marco has received more endorsements from conservatives in Congress than any other candidate running for president. Salmon, like other conservatives supporting Marco, understands he is the right leader to take on and defeat Hillary Clinton in November.

Congressman Salmon is one of the strongest conservative voices in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he has fought to cut government waste, defend taxpayers from an ever-expanding federal government, and secure our borders. Along with being a member of the Freedom Caucus, he serves on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, and is on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
 
"After seven years of a reckless administration that views the challenges facing the world as they wish, and not as they really are, our country needs a proven leader who understands the importance of limited government, a strong national defense, and a free enterprise system that will grow our economy. I wholeheartedly believe that Marco Rubio is the right person for the job, and I am proud to endorse him for president.
 
"More than any other candidate, Marco Rubio has the right ideas to take on the threats we face around the world. As a member of the intelligence and foreign relations committees, he has seen firsthand the importance of identifying our enemies and standing by our friends, and he knows what it takes to win the war against ISIS.
 
"Furthermore, he recognizes the significance of protecting the homeland by securing our borders. When Marco Rubio is president, he will cancel President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty, sanctuary cities will lose their federal funding, and criminal aliens will be immediately deported. As a border-state representative in Congress, I trust him to solve these problems once and for all.
 
"Conservative leaders are lining up behind Marco Rubio because he has a proven and tested record, and has the ability to unite our party and win in November. I have full confidence that he will lead us into a 21st century in which our world will be more stable, our families will be safer, and our children and grandchildren will have more opportunities than ever before."
