Washington, D.C., June 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ambassador John Bolton announced today his endorsement of Representative Martha McSally in her bid for Congress in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District. In addition, the John Bolton PAC will contribute a total of $10,000 to her 2018 campaign. This announcement comes as part of a larger contribution of $100,000, which will be distributed among ten Congressional candidates whom the Ambassador has identified as champions of a strong national security and foreign policy.
“In Congress, Martha McSally has proven her commitment to protecting our nation by securing our borders. She has worked to bring attention to visa overstays as a national security problem. She also understands the necessity of holding Iran and our adversaries accountable for dangerous behavior via sanctions. This is why I am endorsing her re-election to Congress.”
Martha McSally issued the following statement in response to Ambassador Bolton’s contribution to her campaign:
“I am committed to standing for a strong national defense, foreign policy, and a thriving economy. I am thankful for Ambassador Bolton's endorsement and his confidence in my ability and proven track record of fighting for these principles, tackling complex problems, and getting things done in Congress," said Congresswoman Martha McSally.
In the 2016 election cycle, 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. This is the earliest the John Bolton PAC has involved itself in an election cycle, signaling Ambassador Bolton’s plans to significantly increase contributions for the 2018 elections.
In addition to his leadership PAC, Ambassador Bolton heads the John Bolton SuperPAC, which spent nearly $5M on independent expenditures for three U.S. Senate races in 2016.
