Wilmington, DE – Newt 2012 announced today that Bill Sahm, Chair of the Northern New Castle County Region of the Delaware GOP, endorsed Newt Gingrich for President.
 
“After listening to Newt Gingrich’s positive vision, it’s clear he is leader we need to get our nation back on the right track.  Newt shares our conservative values, he is a courageous defender of religious liberty, and his economic plan is exactly what we need to create jobs and prosperity here in Delaware and across America,” said Bill Sahm.  “Newt’s commitment to listening to the people of Delaware has been evident these past few weeks, and I’m proud to cast my vote for him this Tuesday.
 
“Bill Sahm is a strong leader for Delaware Republicans and I’m delighted to receive his endorsement,” said Newt Gingrich.

Dover, DE – Newt 2012 announced today that Jerry Wood, Chairman of the Sussex County Republican Party is formally endorsing Newt Gingrich.  Wood is the second Delaware GOP County Chairman to announce his support for Gingrich in the past 24 hours.
 
“Delaware will not be marginalized and will not be taken for granted,” said Wood. “Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who has taken the time to campaign in every part of the First State.  Furthermore, he has persuasively made the case that his detailed plans for jump starting the economy with bold tax reform, returning to a balanced budget, and an energy strategy to return gasoline to $2.50 per gallon are the right direction for America.  This Tuesday, I will proudly vote for Newt Gingrich over Mitt Romney and encourage my fellow Sussex County Republicans to do the same.”
 
“Jerry is a fierce advocate for his fellow Delawareans and a dedicated Republican activist.  I am proud that he has decided to join our team,” said Newt Gingrich.  “I look forward to working with Jerry to share our positive message of bold, conservative breakthroughs across the state of Delaware ahead of Tuesday’s primary.”

“Hans is a dedicated Republican who understands the importance of local parties.  I’m honored he has decided to join our team,” said Newt Gingrich.  ”I look forward to working with Hans to share our positive message of job creation and lower gasoline prices across the state of Delaware ahead of Tuesday’s primary.”
