Rubio Campaign Announces Endorsements From Iowa Business Leaders

Today, the Marco Rubio for President campaign announced a growing list of business leaders in Iowa endorsing Marco.

As the campaign continues to gain momentum in the Hawkeye State, leaders of all backgrounds are uniting behind Marco. Business leaders are excited to support his visions for the country because he has a 21st Century plan to revitalize our nation's economy by reforming regulations, fixing our tax code, and solving our nation's debt problem.

"Marco Rubio has the right plan to strengthen our economy. He is a next generation conservative who knows presidents don’t create jobs, but smart leadership in the White House will help our free enterprise system thrive," said Don Decker, President, Decker Truck Line. "I encourage all Iowa Republicans to caucus for Marco Rubio on February 1 as a critical first step to getting the country back on the right track."
 
"As a businessman, I know we cannot afford to continue in the direction we are heading now," Doug Reichardt, Former Chairman, Holmes Murphy & Associates. "The country needs a leader like Marco Rubio who will reform the tax code to promote growth and end Washington overregulation of the economy. Marco’s vision for a new American century where more people than ever before achieve their dreams is what our nation needs."
