Georgia Congressman Jack Kingston Endorses Newt Gingrich for President

Georgia Congressman Jack Kingston today endorsed Newt Gingrich for President of the United States, praising Newt's unparalleled track record of implementing the right policies to achieve the right results. 

“Newt, I think, knows policy better than any of the other candidates,” Rep. Kingston said in an interview with Politico.  “At a time we need entitlement reform more than anything, he’s a guy who’s already done it.” 

Kingston also praised Gingrich’s ability to connect with young voters, saying “He’s always been able to connect with young people as a reformer.”
