Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine Endorses
Pawlenty for President
Columbus, OH – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced his
endorsement of Gov. Tim Pawlenty for president.
“Gov. Pawlenty is the right man to serve as president,” DeWine said
today. “As a two term governor, Pawlenty understands what it takes to
be a leader, knows the importance of supporting state and local
governments, and has shown time after time a dedication to protecting
children and families.”
Mike DeWine was elected Ohio’s 50th Attorney General in 2010. In
his oath of office, DeWine swore to protect Ohio families and as
Attorney General has focused on fixing the delays at the state crime
lab, ending the plague of prescription drug abuse that is destroying
families across Ohio, and creating a job friendly environment through
educating business on consumer protection issues.
“Throughout Gov. Pawlenty’s career, he has a record of fighting for the
conservatives ideals that he believes in without alienating those who
disagree," said DeWine. “In a political environment where it is
increasingly hard to get things accomplished, Gov. Pawlenty brings the
right balance of experience, knowhow, and dedication to move America
forward.”
DeWine went on to say, "As Attorney General, I’m fighting to repeal
Obama health care. Gov. Pawlenty understands how to reform health
care without unconstitutional mandates."
Throughout his career, DeWine has been staunchly pro-life. “I
especially respect Gov.Pawlenty’s commitment to preserving and
protecting the sanctity of life,” said DeWine. “He is a champion
for the most vulnerable among us.”
