Ron Johnson (WI-Sen)
PRIMARY: Sept. 14, 2010GENERAL: Nov. 2, 2010
WASHINGTON - On July 14, 2010, Club for Growth PAC announced its endorsement of two candidates for the U.S. Senate: constitutional lawyer Mike Lee of Utah and businessman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.
“Mike Lee and Ron Johnson are exactly what America needs and voters are looking for in 2010,” said Club President Chris Chocola. “Mike and Ron are part of a rising generation of leaders coming to Washington to take the shackles off our economy and put them on the federal government.”
“Mike Lee is a ‘principles politician’ of the first order. When Mike is elected, his commitment to our Constitution and its limits on government will immediately improve the health of our economy and of the Senate,” Chocola said.
“Ron Johnson has spent his life creating jobs, being accountable to his customers, and leading by example – that is, he’s the exact opposite of the current federal government,” Chocola said. “Ron will provide voters in Wisconsin a clear choice between his vision of free people making their own decisions with their own money, and Russ Feingold’s vision of a command-and-control economy planned by politicians and bureaucrats in Washington.”
Lee and Johnson are the 14th and 15th candidates Club for Growth PAC has endorsed in the 2010 election cycle. He joins Senators Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.), Congressman Tom Graves (GA-09), Senate candidates Sharron Angle (Nev.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.), and House candidates Kevin Calvey (OK-05), Tim Huelskamp (KS-01), Mike Pompeo (KS-04), Robin Smith (TN-03), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Tim Scott (SC-01), and Justin Amash (MI-03).
