“The Club for Growth PAC will announce the first Republican primary endorsement ever crowdsourced over the Internet tomorrow,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “The Club for Growth PAC has received many recommendations for primary challenges , but one particular name kept coming up. Not only that, but the people of this incumbent member’s district provided us with the name of an alternative, who we reached out to. After careful research of this person’s background, and the background of the incumbent, the Club for Growth PAC will formally endorse the challenger’s candidacy.”

“We’ve repeatedly found that once voters hear about the anti-growth records of an incumbent member of Congress, the more they’d like to replace them with someone who will vote for pro-growth policies in Washington. Tomorrow, the Club for Growth PAC will put the resources of Club members behind one such replacement,” added Chocola.
