Congressman Jason Chaffetz Endorses Marco Rubio For President

"Marco is a voice of strength and optimism. He is a leader we can trust to keep us safe and restore American greatness, and I look forward to electing him President."

- Congressman Jason Chaffetz 

Today in Concord, New Hampshire, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Congressman Jason Chaffetz formally endorsed Marco Rubio for President.
Congressman Chaffetz has been one of the most effective conservative leaders on holding the government accountable, and protecting Americans from the Obama Administration's government overreach.

Marco's optimistic message of limited government and a strong national defense continues unifying conservative leaders all across the country, and Congressman Chaffetz's endorsement is another testament to Marco's strong vision for the country. 

"I am proud to endorse Marco Rubio for President. Like other conservatives across the country, I am fed up with the failed, big-government policies of President Obama," said Congressman Jason Chaffetz. "Hillary Clinton will bring more of the same, and we cannot afford four more years. We need a leader like Marco Rubio who understands the struggles of working families -- who knows what it's like to be saddled with student loans and raise kids in the 21st Century. In today's world, where many of us are scared that terror threats abroad will hit here at home and many more fear that America's best days are behind us, Marco is a voice of strength and optimism. He is a leader we can trust to keep us safe and restore American greatness, and I look forward to electing him President."
