Rubio Campaign Announces Kentucky Leadership Team

Today, the Marco Rubio for President campaign is proud to announce a large group of conservative leaders from across the Bluegrass State joining Marco's Kentucky Leadership Team.

"The Republican presidential primary is shaping into a 3-way race, and I strongly believe that our number one priority must be defeating Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in November. Marco Rubio is the candidate who can best achieve that objective, and I am proud to endorse him for president," said Kentucky House Minority Leader Jeff Hoover. "Senator Rubio is a strong conservative leader, and his vision of a New American Century is resonating across our country. The American people are ready for an uplifting leader who not only understands the issues before us today and shares their frustration, but also knows what they will do about it on their first day in office."

"Marco Rubio is working hard every day to earn the support of people across our country, and we are thrilled to welcome these key leaders to our team in Kentucky," said former Congresswoman Anne Northup, Marco's Kentucky Chairwoman. "People across the Bluegrass State are ready to defeat the Washington establishment and restore government to its rightful limited role. Marco Rubio is the only candidate who has what it takes to win in November, and we look forward to continuing our efforts in Kentucky to energize supporters as we approach the March 5 caucus."

"We are thrilled to welcome this long list of leaders to our Kentucky team," said Micah Johnson, Regional Spokeswoman for Marco Rubio for President. "As the only campaign that is organized in all 50 states, we are built for the long haul, and the growing momentum behind Marco's campaign is a testament to his strong conservative credentials and unique ability to unite our party and win in November."
