Jeb Bush Announces Oklahoma AG Pruitt To Lead National Policy Effort
AG Pruitt to serve as National Chairman of Federal-State Relations for the Jeb 2016 campaign
Today, Governor Jeb Bush announced the support of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt. Jeb announced Attorney General Pruitt will serve in a national role for his campaign, as National Chairman of Federal-State Relations for the Jeb 2016 campaign.Restoring the Constitutional relationship between the federal government and the states requires presidential leadership and structural reforms. As the National Chair of Federal-State Relations, Attorney General Pruitt will lead our Restoring Federalism Task Force to develop policies that will restore the federalist principles at the core of our founding and coalitions of support emphasizing these principles.
Governor Jeb
Bush:
"Scott and I share a common vision for empowering the states and
limiting the intrusion of federal government in every area of our
lives, I’m excited to have him as part of the team. I look
forward to working him and members of the task force to continue to
demonstrate my plan as president to restore our country."
Attorney General Pruitt:
"I have never been as excited for a
presidential election as I am for this one. Our Party is poised to
reclaim the White House and rebuild the faith in America that has been
lost under the Obama presidency. After getting to know the strong field
of candidates, I am convinced Governor Bush has the courage and
humility our country needs to prosper and recover the American Dream.
In my time with Jeb, I've personally observed his devotion to his wife
and children, his love of country, and his optimism and hope in what
America can become. Jeb's track record as governor of Florida
demonstrates when you serve and lead with conservative convictions,
government works, government shrinks, and most importantly, the lives
of Americans are improved.
"I am honored to serve as Governor Bush's National Chairman of
Federal-State Relations. Governor Bush is the only candidate in
the race for President that has a plan to bring a much needed
structural reset between the relationship of the federal government and
states to make Washington less consequential in our lives. I
encourage all conservatives to look past the theatrics of the primary
and get acquainted with the authenticity, character and experienced
leadership of Gov. Bush. He is the right man at the right time to
lead our nation. I'm all in for Jeb."
The Restoring
Federalism
Task
Force will be comprised of state attorneys
general and federalist-focused policy makers. Based on the
efforts of Jeb’s work with the task force, the campaign will release a
set of policy proposals focused on reforming Executive Branch processes
and structures to empower states to reassume primary governing
responsibilities in key areas, including health care, education and the
environment.
