Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), chairman of the House Republican Conference, today endorsed Marco Rubio, the conservative candidate challenging Gov. Charlie Crist (R-FL) for the Republican nomination for Senate.
Pence, who is rumored to have his own intention for higher (that is, Oval) office, said today that Rubio “will be a courageous check and balance on the current Washington establishment.”
“Marco Rubio’s faith in free markets, limited government and traditional moral values make him the right choice for Republicans in this race,” Pence said in a statement.
