Conservative PAC Backs George LeMieux's Senate Bid

Former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, now running in a crowded Republican primary to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, announced on Wednesday that he had been endorsed by the National Tax Limitation Committee PAC (NTLC PAC).

"During his time in the United States Senate, George fought for tax relief and to reduce spending, said Lew Uhler, president of NTLC PAC. As the proven fiscal conservative in this race, George proposed a plan that would bring the federal government to balance in two years, supported a balanced budget amendment, and never voted to raise the nations debt ceiling. He understands the importance of creating an economic environment that encourages job growth. When he returns to the Senate, I know he will support policies that will reduce economic uncertainty and reverse the disastrous effects of the Nelson/Obama economy."

"I am honored to have Lew Uhler and the NTLC PAC's confidence and trust," said LeMieux. "In the U.S. Senate, I stood with fellow fiscal conservatives to fight to balance the budget and get a handle on our debt without raising taxes. These are critical times and I am committed, now more than ever, to that fight."
