Allen West Gets the Endorsement of Tom Rooney

U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney endorsed fellow Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West on Friday. With the congressional districts redrawn by the Legislature, Rooney represents some of the district that West is currently running for. West faces Martin County Sheriff Bob Crowder --who backed Democrat candidate Alex Sink in 2010 during the closest gubernatorial election in Floridas history --for the Republican nomination.

Congressman West will be a principled advocate for the people of Floridas Treasure and Gold Coasts, Rooney said.He will continue to lead the fight for policies to help get our nation back on track and he will continue his efforts to get government out of the pockets and off the backs of hard-working taxpayers and small businesses so the economy can grow and create jobs. I know Congressman West will also continue to work to rein in the enormous deficits and debt so threatening to the retirement security of our seniors and the future of our children and grandchildren.
