Rubio Campaign Announces Expanding Louisiana Leadership Team

This morning, the Marco Rubio for President campaign announced Marco's Louisiana Leadership Team. On the heels of former Governor Bobby Jindal's endorsement and the growing momentum seen across the country for Marco, the campaign is proud to have an organization in Louisiana that is prepared to compete in the March 5 primary. 

“Marco Rubio has demonstrated throughout this campaign that he will implement policies that will not just save the American Dream, but expand it,” said Senator Mack “Bodi” White, state chairman for the Rubio campaign in Louisiana. “I’m supporting him because I am confident that he will use conservative principles to help improve the lives of Louisianans and Americans across the country.”

“After looking at all the candidates in this race, it’s clear to me that Marco Rubio is far and away the best to carry our party’s flag in the general election,” said Representative Kirk Talbot, one of the campaign’s seven co-chairs in the state. “Marco has an optimistic vision for America that will inspire voters, and I’m supporting him because I know he can be counted on to protect and expand the American Dream for future generations.”

“On each of the key issues facing our country, Marco Rubio offers strong conservative solutions that will present American strength moving forward,” said Lionel Rainey, grassroots director for the state. “I am thrilled to be a part of his leadership team and will be working hard to organize supporters across the state in the lead-up to the March 5 primary”

“Our campaign is happy to have these strong conservative leaders on board to spread Marco’s positive message of a New American Century to voters across Louisiana,” said Jeremy Adler, regional spokesman for the Rubio campaign. “Voters across the country are recognizing that Marco is the one candidate that can unite the Republican Party and win a general election which is why so many are rallying behind his candidacy.”
