Washington, D.C., Sept. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambassador John Bolton announced today that he will endorse Jeremy Wynes for the U.S. House of Representatives in Illinois’ 10th Congressional District, and the John Bolton PAC will contribute $10,000 to his campaign. Additionally, Ambassador Bolton will speak at a fundraiser in support of Wynes in Chicago on Thursday, September 7th.
“For more than a decade Jeremy has advocated for thoughtful foreign policy solutions and for strengthening the relationship between the U.S. and Israel,” said Ambassador Bolton. “His valuable experience at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) are much needed in Congress at a time when foreign threats facing our nation, and facing Israel, are higher than ever. I am supporting Jeremy because he will bring fresh, new ideas to America’s foreign policy, especially as it relates to our greatest ally in the middle east, Israel.”
Jeremy Wynes issued the following statement in response to Ambassador Bolton’s endorsement and contribution to his campaign:
“It is a privilege to receive Ambassador John Bolton’s endorsement. We both understand the tremendous threats facing our security today and the need for strong leadership to address these challenges. Unlike Brad Schneider, I will never hesitate to oppose policies that make America or our allies less safe.”
Ambassador Bolton has endorsed 12 candidates for U.S. Congress and contributed a collective $120,000 in 2018, signaling his plans to significantly increase contributions in this election cycle. For the 2016 elections, the John Bolton PAC contributed a total of $680,000 and endorsed 94 candidates, making it the most active leadership PAC in the country, and earning the PAC numerous industry awards.
