WASHINGTON, DC - The political action arm of the influential and well-funded Club for Growth, with 9 wins and only 4 losses this election cycle, today endorsed four candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives: Rep. Steve Chabot (OH-01); Ralph Norman (SC-05); David McSweeney (IL-08); and Michele Bachmann (MN-06).

"This week, the Democrats told us what they will do if they win the majority: pass big job-killing tax hikes. It was frightening but not surprising to hear Rep. Rangel say this, but it does underscore what is at stake. The House is up for grabs, and we need to make sure we're doing all we can to help elect men and women who want to cut taxes and grow the economy. These four candidates have superb records and will vote to keep our economy strong and job creation going," said Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth.

Rep. Steve Chabot, OH-01:

"Rep. Chabot consistently votes for low taxes and low spending, and because of that the DC Democrats want to knock him out. They're targeting him because he is true to his principles and knows what he stands for. He has stood up for jobs and economic growth, so the Club for Growth PAC will stand up for him against this Democrat onslaught," said Toomey.

Ralph Norman, SC-05:

"The Club for Growth PAC supports Ralph Norman because in addition to being a true leader for limited government in the state legislature, he is everything that Rep. John Spratt is not. Rep. Spratt consistently votes to keep taxes high and for more spending. His voting record on growth is as liberal as Nancy Pelosi's, which puts him way out of step with his district," said Toomey.

David McSweeney, IL-08:

"While Rep. Bean sometimes talks a good game on cutting waste in government, she voted against a budget this year which did just that. In contrast, David McSweeney knows that Washington spending doesn't help create jobs, it's the hard work and ingenuity of the American people that does," said Toomey.

Michele Bachmann, MN-06:

"Michele Bachmann believes strongly in limiting government and keeping taxes low, which is why the Club for Growth PAC is supporting her. Her opponent thinks we need more government red tape and meddling in health care and education, which are two bad ideas that will do much more harm than good," said Toomey.
