FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MARCH 1, 2012
ANTENORI ENDORSED BY THE ARIZONA 2012 PROJECT
Tucson – Recognizing the “enthusiasm” of its Tea Party members for State Senator Frank Antenori in his race for Congress in CD-08, the Arizona 2012 Project, a prominent political action committee and tea party organization, today formally endorsed Antenori’s candidacy for Congress in the GOP Primary to be held on April 17th.
“Senator Antenori has played a key role in reducing state spending, shrinking state government, and enforcing laws to deter illegal immigration,” Ron Ludders, the Chair of the Arizona 2012 Project noted.
“Senator Antenori is, by all criteria, a supporter of the Tea Party movement and of a return to Constitutional governance. Above all, Frank Antenori is known for his fierce advocacy in the service of freedom,” Ludders continued.
In it’s endorsement, the organization issued the following statement: “Through its Political Action Committee, Saving Arizona’s Future, the Arizona 2012 Project Board of Directors – having taken note of the membership’s enthusiasm for the candidate- has voted to endorse the candidacy of Arizona Senator Frank Antenori for the U.S. Hourse of Representatives in Congressional District 8.”
Senator Antenori said that he was “humbled and honored to receive the support of so many people who love this country, love our freedom, and want to return to those principles that made America strong.”
Senator Antenori was re-elected to the Arizona State Senate with 61% of the vote in a district with only 43% enrolled Republicans, demonstrating a proven ability to attract support from independent voters.
Antenori is a decorated Green Beret, author, and project manager for a major company involved in developing technology for America’s defense. In his third year in the State Senate he was elected to a Leadership position and has worked to eliminate Arizona’s deficit spending and balance the state budget.
“Southern Arizona and America need results for a change,” Antenori said. “There are too many who run for public office and end up doing nothing or being effective. The challenges we have in this country right now demand people who can get things done. That’s why I’m running and why I appreciate the support from tea party supporters across Southern Arizona. There’s a job to be done and I’m asking for the opportunity to do it.”
