Verona,
PA
- The Rick Santorum for President campaign is proud to learn that it
has received the vote of the Governor of Alabama, Robert Bentley. On
the nationally syndicated radio show, "Rick and Bubba Show," Alabama
Congressman Robert Aderholt made the following announcement:
Congressman
Aderholt said: "He and his wife will be voting for Rick
Santorum for
President. I was very excited to hear our Governor felt his values were
in line with Rick Santorum... He has told people that he is voting for
Senator Santorum and he holds the values and principles he believes
in."
Rick
Santorum said: "I am honored to have Governor Bentley's support.
Governor Bentley is a true public servant who goes to work each day
fighting for Alabama and her people. He understands what small
business owners and entrepreneurs are facing, and he has applied those
principles day-in and day-out. That is the mindset we need in
Washington, one that doesn't represent 1%, 95%, or 99% of Americans -
but all Americans. I am committed to doing just that,
representing all
Americans and with support of great Americans like Governor Bentley, I
am confident we have taken one more big step toward realizing that
opportunity."
Governor
Robert Bentley was elected to the governorship in 2010 promising to
"put Alabamians back to work" and committed that he would not accept a
salary as Governor until Alabama reaches full employment.
Governor
Bentley previously served two-terms in the Alabama House of
Representatives and was a small business owner, founding the Alabama
Dermatology Associates - which grew to be one of the largest
dermatology practices in the southeast. Governor Bentley
currently
chairs the Appalachian Regional Commission and is a member of the
Economic Development and Commerce Commission with the National
Governors Association.

Dr. Robert Bentley
I
view Rick Santorum as the most conservative candidate in the Republican
presidential primary. I have chosen not to publicly endorse a
candidate. I believe a vote is a personal decision that should be based
on a voter’s values and principles, not on someone else’s opinion.
After being asked who I would vote for, I responded that I had
personally chosen to vote for Rick Santorum. The Republican primary
features a strong pool of candidates, and I will fully support the
Republican nominee chosen by the people.
