NEWT GINGRICH ENDORSES JIM RENACCI FOR CONGRESS
Canton, OH—Today, former Speaker of the House and General Chairman of American Solutions, Newt Gingrich, endorsed Jim Renacci for Congress in Ohio’s 16th district. Renacci, who has been named one of the top Republican candidates in the nation by the National Republican Congressional Committee, is challenging freshman Democrat John Boccieri in a race that is widely viewed as one of the best pick-up opportunities for Republicans in the upcoming November election.
“With three decades of experience as a small business owner who has created over 1,500 jobs in the region, Jim Renacci understands how government policies can both help and hinder job growth and knows what it will take to re-start our nation’s economic engine. As a Mayor, Jim brought a common sense, business-based approach to government and successfully balanced his city’s budget and converted its deficit into a surplus, without raising taxes. At a time when Democrats in Washington are driving our economy off of a cliff and sinking us into a deadly sea of debt, Jim Renacci is precisely the type of leader we need in Congress to restore accountability, responsibility and the pro-growth policies our country so desperately needs. I am proud to endorse Jim Renacci for Congress in Ohio’s 16th district,” Newt Gingrich said today.
“Newt Gingrich has a striking record of accomplishment and stands as one our nation’s most dynamic and well respected leaders in political thought—I could not be more honored to have earned his endorsement. As I continue this fight to restore common sense and accountability to Washington, I remain humbled and energized by the constantly growing support for our campaign,” Jim Renacci said today.
