Chris Chocola Endorses Marco Rubio For President  

Former president of Club for Growth and conservative congressman from Indiana
Chris Chocola, former president of the fiscally conservative Club for Growth and former congressman from Indiana's 2nd congressional district, announced today he is endorsing Marco Rubio for president.

Chocola has been a national leader on promoting fiscally conservative values, and has fought for taxpayers his entire career. While at the Club for Growth, Chocola took on the tax-and-spend establishment in D.C., along with fighting for limited government, lower taxes and balanced budgets. His endorsement today adds to the growing support among strong conservatives who are backing Marco's vision for prosperous New American Century.

"I am proud to support Marco Rubio, a strong fiscal conservative and living testament to the American Dream," said Chris Chocola, former president of Club for Growth. "The son of a bartender and a maid, Marco has seen firsthand how American families and workers can thrive when the shackles of government are removed. Washington's pattern of borrowing and spending its way out of problems has failed to expand opportunity for working families, preventing many parents from providing their children with a better future as Marco's parents did for him. Marco is committed to expanding jobs and opportunity for all Americans, and he has successfully chipped away at Obamacare and consistently fought back against burdensome regulations that are crippling businesses from hiring more workers and increasing wages. Under Marco's leadership, all American families will know that their best days lie ahead."
