RELEASE: Mitt Romney announces Indiana Endorsements
Today, Mitt Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC announced the endorsement of the following five candidates in Indiana and announced it is sending them a total of $15,000 in contributions:
Dan Coats: Dan Coats has a long history of public service, having represented the people of Indiana in both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, and having served as a U.S. Ambassador to Germany. He is now running once again for U.S. Senate. For more information about him and his campaign, please visit www.coatsforindiana.com.
Larry Bucshon: Larry Bucshon, a successful heart surgeon, is now running to represent Indiana’s 8th Congressional District. For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.bucshonforcongress.com.

Todd Young: Todd Young, a Marine veteran and attorney, is running to represent Indiana’s 9th Congressional District. For more information about him and his campaign, please visit www.toddyoungforcongress.com.
Jackie Walorski: Jackie Walorski currently serves as an Indiana State Representative and is running to represent Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District. For more information about her and her campaign, please visit www.standwithjackie.com.
The PAC also announced that it is sending Dan Coats a maximum $5,000 general election contribution toward his U.S. Senate campaign, and that it is sending Larry Bucshon, Todd Rokita, Todd Young, and Jackie Walorski each a $2,500 general election contribution toward their respective Congressional campaigns.
“At a time when we need pro-growth leaders who will keep taxes low, cut wasteful spending and foster job creation, we instead have leadership in Washington which is more focused on expanding the scope and size of government. That is why it is critical that we elect leaders like Dan Coats, Larry Bucshon, Todd Rokita, Todd Young, and Jackie Walorski, who will work to create an environment conducive to creating jobs and turn our economy around,” said Romney.
These Indiana endorsements are another in a series of state rollouts of the PAC’s 2010 endorsements, which are aimed at electing conservative candidates who will work to lower taxes and spending, restore commonsense principles to healthcare and get our economy moving again. As part of this program, Romney’s PAC also has announced endorsements in Ohio, Missouri, California, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Nevada, Illinois, Georgia, and Texas.
