Lancaster County, SC GOP Leaders Unite Around "the Candidate With Heart"
Lancaster,
SC - Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced today that his
campaign for president has received the endorsement of Lancaster
County, South Carolina GOP Leaders State Representative Deborah Long
and County Chairwoman Sandy McGarry.
State Representative
Deborah Long said, "Senator Santorum has a proven track record as a
fiscal conservative. He has been in the forefront when it comes to
welfare reform. Our Country needs strong leaders who will stand
firm
on the Judeo -Christian principles that we were founded upon and I
believe that man to be Senator Rick Santorum."
Sandy McGarry
said, "I am proud to endorse Rick Santorum for President. I am a
mother and grandmother and we cannot leave them saddled with a burden
that was not their doing. Rick Santorum has the courage and heart
to
put America back on the right track. He touched my heart at last
week's Republican debate as a fighter who says what he believes and
believes what he says. He comes to where the people are, not just
where the cameras are. We cannot allow the media to dictate who
the
next president will be, and Rick Santorum has proven he will fight
through that clutter and has the record to make America prosperous
again."
Senator Santorum said, "I am honored to have Deborah's
and Sandy's endorsement. They are leaders in Lancaster County and
are
seeing first-hand the roadblocks the Obama Administration have put up
to impede prosperity in America. We need to put America back to
work,
and that starts in communities like Lancaster. I am committed to
fighting for the people of Lancaster County and all of America as
president, and fixing the failed policies of this Administration."
Lancaster
County, SC was once the textile manufacturing hub of South Carolina;
however, today unemployment in the county has skyrocketed to 15.3% and
now one-fifth of the county's residents are living below the poverty
line. Senator Santorum has focused his jobs plan on bringing back
manufacturing jobs like those lost in Lancaster County. Senator
Santorum's plan, which was endorsed by the PA Manufacturers
Association, would eliminate the corporate tax for all U.S.
manufacturers, eliminate burdensome regulations, and expand domestic
energy exploration.
Senator Santorum spent Tuesday in Lancaster County, and will return to
the county again this weekend.
