Club for Growth President Chris Chocola: “We’ve always considered both Chad Mathis and Gary Palmer to be supporters of limited government and economic freedom, but our research told us that Chad Mathis had the best chance to make the runoff with Paul DeMarco. We were obviously mistaken and the credit goes to Gary for running a great campaign in the primary.” 

Washington, DC - The Club for Growth PAC announced that it is endorsing Gary Palmer for Congress in Alabama’s Sixth Congressional District. The seat is currently held by incumbent Congressman Spencer Bachus (R-AL), who has announced that he is not running for re-election. The Club’s PAC previously endorsed Chad Mathis for Congress in the district, but he did not make the primary runoff. 

“We’ve always considered both Chad Mathis and Gary Palmer to be supporters of limited government and economic freedom, but our research told us that Chad Mathis had the best chance to make the runoff with Paul DeMarco. We were obviously mistaken and the credit goes to Gary for running a great campaign in the primary,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “Now we have the option of supporting taxpayer hero Gary Palmer and there’s no question that he is the choice of fiscal conservatives looking to put America on a path to prosperity.” 

“The Club for Growth PAC endorses Gary Palmer for Congress. Gary will fight to cut taxes, repeal ObamaCare, and he’ll stand up to the big spenders in both parties. As the head of the Alabama Policy Institute, Gary has a lifetime of experience fighting for conservative causes that will serve him well in Congress. We will ask our members to strongly support Gary’s campaign in the runoff election and we will do everything we can to make sure he is victorious on election day,” concluded Chocola.
