Fiscal Conservative Leaders In Ohio Including Cincinnati Tea Party
President Endorse Pawlenty for President
COLUMBUS, OH – As the “We the People Convention” begins today in Ohio,
the Pawlenty for President campaign announces the endorsement of key
grassroots activists.
“I am very excited to welcome Mike Wilson, Jack Boyle, State
Representative Jim Butler, and many other conservative leaders to our
team in Ohio,” said Gov. Pawlenty. "Their work to restore
American prosperity by fighting for spending cuts both in their state
and the federal government is a testament to their patriotism.
I’m excited to have them on my team. I wish them,
Convention President Tom Zawistowski and all the conservative leaders
in Ohio a successful convention this weekend.”
“I’m proud to endorse Gov. Tim Pawlenty for President,” said Mike
Wilson, President of the Cincinnati Tea Party and former Republican
nominee for State Representative. “He has an impressive
conservative record as governor of liberal Minnesota. I like all
of our candidates, but Gov. Pawlenty is the best candidate to defeat
President Obama and implement a fiscally responsible agenda in
Washington D.C.”
Wilson is a small businessman and founder and President of the
Cincinnati Tea Party. He was also the 2010 Republican nominee for
State Representative for the 28th Ohio legislative district. Jack
Boyle is recognized as a fiscal hawk and is former State Director of
Americans for Prosperity in Ohio.
"As I've worked on difficult tax and spending issues in Ohio this year,
it occurred to me that one candidate in the Republican field dealt with
these same issues for 8 years,” said Jack Boyle, Chairman, Citizens
United to End Ohio's Estate Tax, and former Ohio State Director,
Americans for Prosperity. “Former Minnesota Gov.Tim Pawlenty has
done the hard work Ohio is now facing and a record like his is what it
will take to carry Ohio in 2012. A leader who issued over 123
vetoes is exactly the attitude we need in the White House to get
federal government spending under control. This is why I strongly
support Gov. Tim Pawlenty for President."
In addition to Wilson, Boyle and Butler, State Auditor Dave Yost has
endorsed Gov. Pawlenty for President.
