Herman Cain Endorses Newt Gingrich for
President
Atlanta, GA –
Former presidential candidate and Georgia businessman Herman Cain
announced his endorsement of Newt Gingrich for president earlier this
evening at the Palm Beach County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner. In
addition
to his endorsement, Cain has accepted Newt’s invitation to co-chair the
Tax Reform and Economic Growth Advisory Council for Speaker Gingrich.
"It is time for conservatives and Republicans to refocus their
attention on the ultimate mission of defeating President Obama," Cain
said. "I believe Speaker Gingrich is the bold leader we need to
accomplish this mission."
“America’s challenges are too great for mere tinkering around the
edges. Just like Herman, who ran his campaign based on big ideas, I am
running on bold solutions that will boost job creation, cut
bureaucratic red tape, and fundamentally transform Washington,”
Gingrich said. “I’m honored to have Herman’s support, and I look
forward to working with him to help put the American people back to
work.”
Cain and Gingrich have been friends for more than 20 years. In the
early 1990’s they worked together to defeat Hillarycare, and as
speaker, Gingrich appointed Cain to the National Commission on Economic
Growth and Tax Reform (also known as the “Kemp Commission”).
