Delaware Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson to Endorse Newt Gingrich for President

Delaware Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson to Endorse Newt Gingrich for President

Millsboro, DE - Delaware Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson has announced he will endorse Newt Gingrich for president at a rally this evening in Millsboro, Delaware.
 
Simpson has served as Senator of the 18th Legislative District of Delaware since 1999 and he currently serves as Senate Minority Leader. After speaking with Gingrich, Simpson released the following statement:
 
“The 2012 election represents one of the most important events in the history of this country. I believe Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who can defeat Barack Obama in the fall, and provide solutions to some of the country’s biggest problems, which are also some of the same problems that Delaware voters are facing on a daily basis. It is imperative for Republicans in Delaware and beyond to rally behind a conservative candidate who is capable of handling the most serious of issues. Newt Gingrich has proven he is the strongest candidate among the conservative Republicans running for president. I look forward to helping Newt achieve a victory for all Americans who want to put our country back on the right track.”
 
Newt Gingrich expressed his gratitude for Senator Simpson’s support. “I am honored to have the support of such a strong leader in Delaware. Callista and I are grateful for his endorsement and confidence in my candidacy,” the Speaker remarked. “We look forward to meeting and working with other residents of Delaware on the issues that matter most to them.”

Newt Gingrich Statement on Results from Louisiana Primary, Congratulates Santorum, Promises To Carry On To Tampa

Gingrich Statement on Results from Louisiana Primary

"Rick Santorum deserves credit for coming in first in Louisiana. I am very grateful for the thousands of Louisianians who voted for me tonight; the theme of $2.50 per gallon of gasoline or less, and an American energy policy that ensures no American President will ever again bow to a Saudi king were clearly popular with the people in Louisiana. This is clearly still an open race. So, on behalf of the more than 176,000 Americans who have donated to Newt 2012, I will carry our solution oriented campaign to Tampa.
