New York Congressman Peter King Endorses Marco Rubio For President

Today, New York Congressman Peter King endorsed Marco Rubio for president. Congressman King is joining a wave of conservative leaders that understand that Marco is the right candidate to be commander-in-chief.

Congressman King represents New York's 2nd congressional district. He was first elected to Congress in 1993, and was the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee from 2005 to 2007 and again from 2011 to 2013. He also serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“Republicans can’t afford to forfeit this race to Hillary Clinton by nominating the wrong candidate," said Congressman King. "I’m endorsing Marco Rubio because he has all the ingredients for a winning campaign: inspiration, judgement, and vision. He can be trusted to deliver real results once he is in office. Most important of all for me, Marco has a thorough knowledge of foreign policy and fully understands the true nature of the terrorist threat."
