Second
Delaware
GOP County Chairman Endorses Newt Gingrich for President
Dover, DE
– Newt 2012 announced today that Jerry Wood, Chairman of the Sussex
County Republican Party is formally endorsing Newt Gingrich. Wood
is
the second Delaware GOP County Chairman to announce his support for
Gingrich in the past 24 hours.
“Delaware
will not be marginalized and will not be taken for granted,” said Wood.
“Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who has taken the time to campaign
in every part of the First State. Furthermore, he has
persuasively
made the case that his detailed plans for jump starting the economy
with bold tax reform, returning to a balanced budget, and an energy
strategy to return gasoline to $2.50 per gallon are the right direction
for America. This Tuesday, I will proudly vote for Newt Gingrich
over
Mitt Romney and encourage my fellow Sussex County Republicans to do the
same.”
"Jerry
is a fierce advocate for his fellow Delawareans and a dedicated
Republican activist. I am proud that he has decided to join our
team,”
said Newt Gingrich. “I look forward to working with Jerry to
share our
positive message of bold, conservative breakthroughs across the state
of Delaware ahead of Tuesday’s primary.”
Yesterday,
Newt 2012 also announced that Hans Reigle, Chairman of the Kent County
Republican Party, was switching his support from Mitt Romney to Newt
Gingrich. Reigle has also served as the Mayor of Wyoming,
Delaware and
served for over 20 years in the United States Air Force.
Gingrich is campaigning in Delaware this week in advance of the state's
April 24th primary.
