RELEASE: Romney Takes 'Rx for Repeal' to Pennsylvania
Today, Mitt Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC continued the rollout of its new program, dubbed “Prescription for Repeal,” which supports conservative candidates who will work to repeal the worst aspects of Obamacare and restore commonsense principles to healthcare. This fourth wave of endorsements goes to three candidates in Pennsylvania.
Pat Toomey: Pat Toomey is a former Pennsylvania Congressman who is running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. He is running against Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA), who voted in favor of Obamacare. For more information on Pat Toomey and his campaign, visit www.toomeyforsenate.com.
Tim Burns: Tim Burns is businessman and community volunteer who is running in a special election to represent Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District – the seat formerly held by Representative John Murtha. For more information on Tim Burns and his campaign, visit www.timburnsforcongress.com.
Pat Meehan: Pat Meehan is a former prosecutor who is running for election in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. This seat is currently held by Joe Sestak (D-PA), who voted in favor of Obamacare. For more information on Pat Meehan and his campaign, visit www.meehanforcongress.com.
The PAC also announced that it has sent Pat Toomey the maximum $5,000 primary election contribution, Tim Burns a special general election contribution of $2,500, and Pat Meehan a primary election contribution of $2,500.
“President Obama’s new healthcare law imposes higher taxes, cuts Medicare, contains insurance price controls and expands the size of our federal government. It is unhealthy for America. That is why it is critical that we elect fiscally-responsible conservative leaders who will work to repeal the worst aspects of Obamacare, restore commonsense principles to healthcare, and focus on getting our economy back on track,” said Romney.
These Pennsylvania endorsements are the fourth in a series of “Prescription for Repeal” state rollouts over the coming weeks. In previous weeks, Romney’s PAC announced endorsements in the states of Ohio, Missouri, and California.
