John Bolton Endorses Two Promising Arizona GOP Primary Winners & Rep. Trent Franks

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambassador John Bolton endorses Rep. Trent Franks, the incumbent Congressman from Arizona's 8^th District, Andy Tobin (AZ-1), and retired Lt. Colonel Wendy Rogers (AZ-9). A maximum donation of $5,000 from John Bolton PAC is made to each candidate. Bolton previously endorsed and made a $10,000 PAC contribution to the campaign of retired Air Force Colonel Martha McSally (AZ-2).

"Arizona is a diverse and politically important state that catches the pulse of the nation, and the GOP must remain competitive and vocal," Bolton said. "Arizonans will continue to look for upstanding and decorated leaders that will allow the Sun State to reap the benefits of its growing electorate, labor resources, and energy needs in the years ahead."

Statements from Bolton on each candidate:

Bolton on Tobin: "A man of character with a strong sense of law and order, Andy is a leader and a staunch defender of legal immigration, small business innovation and security for Arizonans. He supports policies that will enhance the value of hard work and productivity of workers throughout the state. Andy is a fiscally responsible candidate that will earn the respect and trust of Arizonans for accountable and effective representation in Washington."

Bolton on Rogers: "Wendy is an accomplished individual who served her country as one of the first 100 women pilots in the U.S. Air Force. A 5^th generation officer, Wendy's impressive background is complemented by her experience as a job creator in the private sector, and commitment to fighting reckless government spending. Her pro-growth outlook, and strong belief that America has yet to live up to its greatest potential makes Wendy an ideal candidate for shaping the course of America's future."

Bolton on Franks: "Trent is a leading moral voice in today's Republican party. He is a self-made man who has served his country as a faithful public servant. While serving on the House Armed Services Committee, Trent stood in strident support of U.S. missile defense, and has been an advocate for the protection of minority rights in the Middle East and beyond. I'm proud to support him as he will continue to work hard for a principled and secure America."

Bolton is committed to supporting candidates for elected office who believe in protecting American freedoms by securing U.S. interests in a challenging world. The John Bolton PAC and the John Bolton Super PAC have raised more than $6 million to date.
