ACU Backs Connie Mack to Take on Bill Nelson

The American Conservative Union announced on Tuesday that it is backing U.S. Rep. Connie Mack for the Republican nomination to challenge Democrat incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in November.

From his proven leadership on pro-growth economic policies and energy independence solutions to his courageous efforts to bring attention to dangerous and tyrannical regimes across the world, it is clear Connie Mack is the innovative, conservative leader ready to take on Bill Nelson this fall, said Al Cardenas, the chairman of the ACU and former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.

Liberals in the Senate have rubber-stamped President Obamas agenda, and now it is time for voters to hold them accountable. Congressman Mack is one of many great conservatives running for Senate across the country, and the American Conservative Union PAC is proud to endorse him. The ACU PAC urges all Florida conservatives to support Connie Mack for U.S. Senate, and we look forward to aiding his victory in both the primary and general elections.

With the help and support of conservatives across the Sunshine State, I will continue to fight for freedom, security and prosperity -- fundamental ideals critical to reclaiming American exceptionalism, Mack said.
