NBC News and others are reporting that Rick Santorum’s “major announcement” Friday is an endorsement from Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz.
Here’s an excerpt from Schultz’s written statement, via NBC:
“Sen. Santorum is a strong advocate for faith, family, and freedom. He has a solid track record as a social and fiscal conservative from his time serving in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives,” Schultz said in a written statement. “As a Republican from a blue state, he has the experience to win in tough elections.”
