These elected officials join Rand Paul for President Caucus state leaders Congressman Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming; State Sen. Owen Hill and Former State Sen. Scott Renfroe, Colorado; and State Sen.

"I
am
honored to have the endorsement of so many conservative leaders from
key caucus states. With their leadership, we can spread my message of
liberty and constitutional conservatism throughout the United States
and see a victorious outcome in the presidential caucuses," Sen.
Rand
Paul said.
The
Caucus Leaders supporting Rand Paul for President include:
Nevada
Assemblywoman Shelly Shelton -
Shelton represents Nevada's 10th district and serves on the Assembly
education committee, government affairs committee, and legislative
operations and elections committee.
"We
have
broken this government and it will take a strong, consistent
leader like Rand Paul to begin the process of fixing it. His
record
proves he is a man of his word who is not afraid to stand up to the
establishment and take on special interests that prey on
Americans," Assemblywoman Shelton said.
Nevada
Assemblyman John Moore - Moore
is a former United States Army Airborne Ranger who fought in the Iraq
War. He was elected to the Assembly to represent the 8th District of
Nevada in 2014. He currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Assembly
Government Affairs Committee.
"I
am
endorsing Rand Paul for President because he is a man of integrity
and action. He believes in a country where our personal freedoms and
liberty are paramount. I am proud to stand with him in defense of our
civil liberties," said Assemblyman Moore.
State
Senator Roger Chamberlain, Minnesota - In
2010, in his first run for any public office, he was elected as a state
senator representing senate district 53. He has served on various
committees, including taxes, K-12 education, state departments and
veterans' affairs, and commerce. He was vice chair on local
government. During the 2012 session Chamberlain served as
assistant
majority leader, and in 2013 - 2014 he served as assistant minority
leader.
"Whether
it's
a common sense and fair tax plan, supporting education, reining in
the abuses by the NSA, or sound foreign policy; Sen. Paul's priority is
freeing citizens and putting the people back in charge of their lives.
This means taking power back from a Washington ruling class that has
run amok and empowering the individual. I am proud to stand with Rand
in defeating the Washington Machine," Sen. Chamberlain said.
State
Senator Branden Petersen, Minnesota -
Petersen represents Minnesota's 35th district. Since taking office in
2010, his legislative priorities include funding equity for
schools
with high needs but insufficient revenue and "value-added" teacher
evaluations that measure effectiveness by student progress, not teacher
proficiency. Petersen also believes the state needs to learn to budget
and make ends meet in a tougher economy just as his constituents have
had to do.
"Rand
Paul
is the only candidate in this race who consistently stands up for
constitutional limited government. His positive vision for America will
attract new voters to an aging Republican Party and put us in the best
position to win back the White House. I proudly stand with Rand,"
said Sen. Petersen.
Minnesota
Republican Liberty Caucus Chairman Neil Lynch -
Current Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus and former CD3 Vice
Chair. Neil Lynch was also a candidate for MN GOP State Party
Chair in
2015. Professionally, Neil is a seasoned sales engineering and
technology manager.
"Rand
Paul
is the candidate best positioned to beat the Democratic Party's
nominee in November. Not only does Sen. Paul unapologetically stand up
for the Constitution and against government overreach, he also has the
ability to win over independents and conservative Democrats, much like
Ronald Reagan did in 1980. I want to win in 2016, so I enthusiastically
stand with Rand," said Chairman Lynch.
State
Representative Brett Hildabrand, Kansas - Hildabrand
is
a
fourth
generation Kansas native originally from Fort Scott. He is
a graduate of Kansas State University with a bachelor's degree from the
College of Agriculture. Brett is a conservative constitutionalist who
believes in limited government, protection of personal liberties,
fiscal responsibility, states rights and honoring human life at all
stages of development. Brett is an active member of the St. Joseph
Catholic Church in Shawnee.
"I
stand
with Senator Rand Paul because he fearlessly addresses the issues
we face as a nation. While other candidates shift their positions
based
on public opinion polls, Senator Rand Paul will always abide by the
principles of the United States Constitution," State Rep.
Hildabrand said.
State
Senator Mark Madsen, Utah -
Senate Chair, Utah International Relations and Trade Commission,
Chairman Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Committee. Three-term Senator Mark Madsen is consistently ranked as one
of Utah's very most conservative Senators, yet also enjoys the highest
ranking from the ACLU.
"Rand
Paul
understands that Washington has hobbled our economy with
oppressive regulations and confiscatory taxes, putting American
business at a disadvantage compared to countries which embrace
entrepreneurs and respect success. Rand Paul's 'Fair and Flat
Tax'
would go long way to level the global playing field for American
business and American jobs," Sen. Madsen said.
State
Representative Jacob Anderegg, Utah -
Leader of the Utah House Young Guns, Member of the House Business and
Labor Committee, House Rules Committee, and House Transportation
Committee.
"In
today's world evil is often called good and good is often called evil.
As a member of a historically persecuted faith, I believe Rand Paul,
among all the candidates, understands and will resolutely defend
Religious Liberty," said State Rep. Anderegg.
Utah
County Commissioner Bill Lee - Utah County
Commissioner, Former Deputy State Director for Senator Mike Lee, and
small business owner.
"As
a
Commissioner in a county with a very high growth rate, I understand
that we cannot afford to keep adding debt onto our children and
grandchildren. I support Rand Paul for president because he is the
only
candidate serious about reining in our out-of-control spending," Commissioner
Lee said.
