Catholic Families PAC Backs Rubio

Republican Marco Rubio's campaign for the U.S. Senate seat was endorsed by the Catholic Families for America (CFA) PAC.

"Among the several dozen candidates for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate whom CFA plans to endorse, Marco Rubio is at the head of the class," said Dr. Kevin Roberts, who serves as executive director of the CFA. "His substantive, traditional values message, coupled with his upbeat approach, is a welcome tonic to our toxic public square right now."

CFA backed Rubio due to his positions against abortion and gay marriage.

"For all voters, but especially those who are faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church, we strongly encourage them to support Marco Rubio," said Roberts.

CFA is an organization composed of Catholics but not endorsed by the Church itself. Rubio is a Catholic.
