Link to Article: http://www.clubforgrowth.org/perm/pr/?postID=780
WASHINGTON – Club for Growth PAC today announced its endorsement of David Schweikert in the race to represent Arizona’s 5th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Schweikert faces U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell.
“David Schweikert understands how jobs and prosperity are created, and what Washington needs to do to help Americans create them again,” said Club President Chris Chocola. “Schweikert understands that economic freedom leads to economic growth and that limited government leads to unlimited opportunities.”
“Harry Mitchell is Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama’s idea of a moderate – he’s a liberal,” Chocola said. “Mitchell can call himself what he likes, but when you vote for $3 trillion in new government programs in two years – including TARP, the Stimulus, and Obamacare – you’re a liberal, period.”
Club for Growth PAC endorsed Schweikert in 2008, when Mitchell won 53-43 percent.
Schweikert is the 23rd candidate the Club for Growth PAC has endorsed in the 2010 election cycle. He joins Senators Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.), Congressman Tom Graves (GA-09), Senate candidates Mike Lee (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Sharron Angle (Nev.), Rand Paul (Ky.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Ken Buck (Col.), Joe Miller (Alaska), and Pat Toomey (Pa.), and House candidates Tim Huelskamp (KS-01), Mike Pompeo (KS-04), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Tim Scott (SC-01), Justin Amash (MI-03), Mick Mulvaney (SC-05), Todd Young, (IN-09), Stephen Fincher (TN-08), and Tim Griffin (AR-02).

WASHINGTON – Club for Growth PAC today announced its endorsements of four Republicans vying for House seats in November: Mick Mulvaney (SC-05), Tim Griffin (AR-02), Stephen Fincher (TN-08), and Todd Young (IN-09).
“If you want better policies, you need better people,” said Club President Chris Chocola. “And Mick Mulvaney, Tim Griffin, Stephen Fincher, and Todd Young are about as good as pro-growth, fiscal conservatives can hope for.”
“The biggest fight this election year is not between Republicans and Democrats, but between Washington, which wants to grow government, and the rest of the country, which wants to grow the economy. Mick, Tim, Stephen, and Todd are ready to rescue our free enterprise system from the big government liberals now strangling it in Washington. We look forward to helping them and the rest of Generation Club do just that.”

Club for Growth PAC Endorses Ken Buck for U.S. Senate
Link to Article: http://www.clubforgrowth.org/perm/pr/?postID=758
WASHINGTON – Club for Growth PAC today announced its endorsement of Republican Ken Buck for U.S. Senate from Colorado.
“Ken Buck’s principled fiscal conservatism is the cure for both our economy’s ails and Washington’s dysfunction,” said Club President Chris Chocola. “He believes in the principles of economic freedom and limited government that made our country prosperous, and that can make us prosperous again.”
“Buck is an independent pro-growth conservative who puts principles ahead of party. Meanwhile, Sen. Michael Bennet is a proven rubber stamp for the Democrats’ failed, extremist agenda,” Chocola said.
“Since Bennet arrived in the Senate, millions of Americans have lost their jobs while he has voted for trillions in new spending. Coloradans now have a clear choice between Bennet’s plans for deficits and debt and Buck’s ideas for reform and recovery, and we look forward to helping them make that choice.”
Buck is the 17th candidate Club for Growth PAC has endorsed in the 2010 election cycle. He joins Senators Jim DeMint (S.C.) and Tom Coburn (Okla.), Congressman Tom Graves (GA-09), Senate candidates Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Sharron Angle (Nev.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.), and House candidates Kevin Calvey (OK-05), Tim Huelskamp (KS-01), Mike Pompeo (KS-04), Robin Smith (TN-03), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Tim Scott (SC-01), and Justin Amash (MI-03).

Club PAC Congratulates Pompeo, Huelskamp, and Amash on Primary Wins
Link to Article: http://www.clubforgrowth.org/perm/pr/?postID=753
WASHINGTON – Club for Growth President Chris Chocola made the following statement following the victories of Club PAC-endorsed House candidates Mike Pompeo (KS-04), Tim Huelskamp (KS-01), and Justin Amash (MI-03) in their respective Republican primary runoffs last night:
“Mike Pompeo, Tim Huelskamp, and Justin Amash are three names pro-growth conservatives will learn to know and love in coming years. They will fight for lower taxes and a smaller federal government that operates within its constitutional limits. They will also bring a commonsense, private sector perspective to economic policymaking, and a commitment to transparency and accountability sorely lacking in Congress today. Instead of earmarks and takeovers, these three will fight for freedom and prosperity.
“On behalf of the undefeated-in-2010 Club for Growth PAC, I congratulate Mike, Tim, and Justin on their thrilling wins tonight.”
Club for Growth PAC endorsed Pompeo, Huelskamp, and Amash earlier this cycle, and has helped their campaigns – through PAC independent expenditures and Club-member contributions – to the tune of nearly $500,000.
Club for Growth PAC has now won all nine contested races it has entered in 2010.

Club for Growth Responds to Trent Lott’s Cynical Snipes at Tea Parties, DeMint
Link to Article: http://www.clubforgrowth.org/perm/pr/?postID=748
WASHINGTON – Club for Growth President Chris Chocola today responded to remarks by former Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott in yesterday’s Washington Post, which disparaged both the Tea Party movement and U.S. Senator Jim DeMint.
“Corporate lobbyist Trent Lott is apparently afraid Congress’s incoming freshman class will put an end to the earmarks, handouts, and bailouts that make him rich,” Chocola said. “He should be. Real economic conservative reform, like that advocated by the Club for Growth and the Tea Parties, will put the K Street favor factory out of business.”
“The way forward for a lasting and deserving Republican majority is to embrace the pro-growth, fiscal conservative principles of limited government, free enterprise, and individual responsibility, and reject the self-serving counsel of lobbyists for the big government status quo.”
Chocola also answered Lott’s concern that incoming freshmen might follow the lead of pro-growth, limited government conservatives like Jim DeMint. “To paraphrase the former Leader himself, if recent Senates had had more Jim DeMints and fewer Trent Lotts making economic policy, ‘we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years’,” Chocola said.
In Sunday’s Post, Lott said of 2011’s likely incoming Tea Party-friendly freshmen, “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples … As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.” According to OpenSecrets.org, Lott is currently a registered lobbyist for corporations that supported the 2008 Wall Street bailouts, the 2009 stimulus, the cap-and-trade energy tax, and the financial regulatory reform bill.
