Bauer Endorses Ernst For Senate

WASHINGTON, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former presidential candidate Gary L. Bauer this week endorsed State Senator Joni Ernst for the U.S. Senate, calling Ernst a committed conservative who will represent the values of Iowa voters.

Bauer, chairman of the Campaign for Working Families PAC, made the following statement: "From day one, the Obama Administration has assaulted the values of Iowa voters by forcing Obamacare on the country, redefining marriage, promoting abortion, expanding the government and growing the national debt rather than our economy.  Iowans deserve a senator who will fight Obama's radical agenda.

"Now more than ever, we need conservative leaders in Washington who understand the proper, limited role of government.  We need a government that upholds our values and respects the rule of law. 

"As a lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard who served in Kuwait and Iraq, Joni Ernst knows the importance of America's leadership in the world.  As a mother, grandmother and Sunday school teacher, she also knows the importance of traditional values to our society -- the values of hard work, faith and family. 

"Having worked all eight years of the Reagan Administration, I am pleased to say that Joni is a Ronald Reagan conservative who believes in the full-spectrum conservative agenda of lower taxes, smaller government, traditional values and a strong national defense.  With Joni Ernst in the U.S. Senate we will put America back on the right track."

Gary L. Bauer served in the Reagan Administration, as under secretary of education and as President Reagan's chief domestic policy advisor.  He ran in the 2000 Republican presidential primaries.  The Guardian called Bauer "one of the leading campaigners in the U.S. on pro-life and pro-traditional family issues."
