Endorsement: Jim Rubens for US Senate - Granite Grok

Endorsement: Jim Rubens for US Senate

My personal endorsement goes to Jim Rubens for several reasons

JimRubensFirst – The courage to stand: In the deep, dark, depths of Winter 2015/6, committed conservatives met several times, and they were of one mind and voice: Kelly Ayotte will go, but will we allow Hassan to replace her? We were convinced that her poor voting record on fiscal and constitutional issues would depress Ayotte’s turnout and allow Hassan to win. Jim asked several times “who will stand?”, but in the end he was the only one willing to take on the Establishment and put his neck on the line. For that alone, I salute and commend Jim.

Second – His support for local choice, especially on education, and his determination to keep government off our backs by voting against, not for, expansions of power for Federal agencies like the “No Fly, No Gun” proposals, or the HUD takeover of local zoning and demographic makeup via AFFH. Jim will vote against bad liberal judges like Sotomayor and Kagan, or Garland.

Third – I may not agree with Jim on everything, but he has attracted the libertarians, the youth vote, and independents, as well as many conservatives frustrated with Kelly’s voting record. I believe he is better positioned to take on Hassan this year as an outsider, than Kelly Ayotte who has become a consummate insider in Washington.
