House Majority Leader Endorses Gov. Rick Perry For President
AUSTIN – Florida State Representative and House Majority Leader Carlos
Lopez-Cantera today endorsed Gov. Rick Perry for president.
“It is my honor to announce today that I am endorsing Gov. Rick Perry
for President of the United States of America,” said Rep.
Lopez-Cantera. “I have chosen to endorse Gov. Perry because of his
proven track record in dealing with the most important issue facing
this country today – job creation. Through the principled leadership of
Gov. Perry, approximately 40 percent of the net new jobs created in the
United States since June 2009 were created in Texas. On the other hand,
under President Obama’s failed economic policies, the U.S. has lost 2.4
million jobs during his tenure.”
“The current U.S. debt is approaching $15 trillion, a figure that is
bordering on disastrous levels for this country, if not already
there. Social Security and Medicare have an unfunded liability in
the tens of trillions of dollars, and Gov. Perry is committed to
addressing and protecting these programs as president,” Rep.
Lopez-Cantera continued. “Based on his track record of fiscal
responsibility and unwavering conservatism, I believe Gov. Perry is the
leader who will save our country from this financial disaster and get
America working again as the next president of the United States.”
Representative Lopez-Cantera is the Majority Leader in the Florida
House of Representatives. Leader Lopez-Cantera has served in the
Florida House since 2004 and represents parts of Miami-Dade
County. He was appointed by then Speaker Marco Rubio to the My
Safe Florida Home Advisory Council and by former Gov. Jeb Bush to the
Property Tax Reform Committee.
“Rep. Lopez-Cantera and Floridians know the importance of creating an
environment that allows the private sector to do what it does best,
which is create jobs for Americans and in turn wealth for our economy,”
Gov. Perry said. “I look forward to working with Rep. Lopez-Cantera as
I continue to tell the people of Florida about my record and vision of
fiscal conservatism and job creation, and my plans to get America
working again.”
