Delegate Bill Carrico Endorses George Allen For United States Senate

August 12, 2011
Lawmaker Cites Allen's Conservative Credentials, Record Of Service As Reasons For His Enthusiastic EndorsementFRIES, VA-- Delegate Bill Carrico, candidate for Virginia State Senate, issued a statement today offering his official support of George Allen's campaign for the United States Senate. Allen, former Governor of Virginia, has previously served a term as U.S. Senator. "Governor George Allen has dedicated his life to serving the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with integrity, honesty, and conservative values, throughout his career in public service. As Governor, George Allen established sweeping welfare reforms that saved Virginia taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, and brought pride into the lives of Virginians that are now working for a living. As a Senator, he advanced education with a tax relief amendment for education expenses in the 2001 tax cut bill. Throughout his career, George Allen has ardently supported the Second Amendment, as written and intended in the Constitution, to reinforce the individual right to keep and bear arms. He has been a tireless defender of the unborn at every turn. George Allen is the kind of conservative leader that we need in Washington, fighting not only for Virginia and our way of life, but for the very fabric of our nation, a fabric that has worn thin with the weight of big-government and out of control spending. I am honored to offer my full support to George Allen in his campaign to represent the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States Senate," said Delegate Bill Carrico, candidate for Virginia State Senate.For more information on Delegate Bill Carrico and his campaign, visit www.billcarrico.com.
