Tommy Thompson for U.S. Senate

Madison, WI - Today, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced his endorsement of Tommy Thompson in his bid for US Senate. Governor Christie's joins former Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice in recognizing Thompson's success in job creation and policy innovation.

"Wisconsinites cannot afford to send Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and her record of killing jobs to Washington, D.C." said Governor Christie. "America needs a reformer who understands the needs of our job creators, and I am confident Tommy will fight for the changes small businesses desperately need to grow and expand. Tommy is a proven reformer who paved the way for welfare reform and school choice in this country. That is why I am proud to stand by Tommy Thompson as he works to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington and revitalize our sluggish economy."

"It is an honor to receive the support Governor Chris Christie," said Thompson. "Governor Christie understands the bold reforms one must put in place to deflate the bloated budgets of government. In New Jersey, Christie saved taxpayers billions of dollars by capping property taxes and implementing a teacher evaluation system. Like me, Governor Christie empowered small businesses by giving them the tools and incentives needed to grow and create jobs. I am proud to have Governor Christie stand with me in my run for United States Senate as we work to protect and preserve the values America was founded upon."
