FREEDOMWORKS PAC ENDORSES DAVID SCHWEIKERT FOR CONGRESS IN ARIZONA’S 6TH DISTRICT 

Washington, DC- FreedomWorks PAC has announced its official endorsement of Representative David Schweikert for Congress in Arizona’s 6th District. Through in-depth one-on-one discussions with David Schweikert, a review of the candidates in the race, and input from FreedomWorks PAC members in the district, FreedomWorks PAC believes David Schweikert is the clear choice for limited-government voters looking to preserve economic freedom and rein in Washington’s out-of-control spending.

Redistricting has forced conservative Congressman Schweikert into a primary battle against fellow Congressman Ben Quayle. As a true grassroots organization, FreedomWorks PAC actively solicits and receives feedback from hundreds of local grassroots activists across the district, who overwhelmingly concluded that David Schweikert is their choice to represent them in Congress.

As a signer of the Contract from America, a list of policy priorities generated by hundreds of thousands of votes from tea party activists nationwide, Schweikert has pledged to fight for free markets, fiscal responsibility, and constitutionally limited government.

FreedomWorks PAC Executive Director Max Pappas commented, “Congressman Schweikert has emerged as a leader and legislative entrepreneur. His fellow members of Congress look to him for direction and he has been willing to stand on the frontlines of every major debate, from the debt crisis to fixing the economy. He bucked party leadership and voted for substantial spending cuts and pro-growth budgets. He has even authored a strong balanced budget amendment showing he is serious about fixing the nation’s financial problems.”

Pappas continued, “Both Congressmen have solid voting records but Schweikert brings intangible qualities to the table that make him the better choice for the district and for FreedomWorks PAC. We need more Congressmen like David Schweikert to hold the leaders of both parties accountable and to advocate for less government and more freedom.”

FreedomWorks PAC has endorsed for the U.S. House of Representatives: Sam Aanestad (CA-6), Andy Barr (KY-6), Ron Gould (AZ-4), Adam Hasner (FL-22), Kevin Cramer (ND-At Large), Steve King (IA-4), Jeff Landry (LA-3), Mia Love (UT-4),Thomas Massie (KY-4), Wright McLeod (GA-12), Keith Rothfus (PA-12th) Ann Wagner (MO-2), Jackie Walorski (IN-2), and Martha Zoller (GA-9).
