Governor Palin Endorses Jason Smith for Congress (MO-8); Smith is Honored

Jason Smith of Missouri’s 8th District was the first candidate to strike the Palin Liberty Pose, as I reported here. He also granted Kevin Scholla of The Palin Update an interview in March, during which he voiced his support and respect for Governor Palin. Listen to that interview here.

I am glad to report that Governor Palin has now endorsed Mr. Smith for Congress. My good friend and sister, Kristi King, is his campaign administrator, so I have had the opportunity to spend a little time with him while visiting Missouri. Jason is a humble, principled man, and I have no doubt he will go to Washington to serve and not be served. You can help by donating.

Jason Smith for Missouri’s 8th Congressional District

Jason has worked tirelessly to build on the foundation of his humble beginnings and is a responsible and respected leader in the Show Me State. In Washington DC, Jason will maintain that innate sense of his community and will bring his commonsense conservatism to the halls of Congress. Jason recognizes that government is the problem, not the solution. He will protect our 2ndAmendment rights and work to promote a culture of life. We must all work together to send Mr. Smith to Washington on June 4th.

Smith said he is honored to have Governor Palin’s endorsement in the June 4th Special Election:

“Governor Palin is a true conservative who is not afraid to stand up against the political establishment. As Governor, Sarah worked to establish fiscal restraint, shrink the size of government and fight corruption. Additionally, Governor Palin is unapologetically pro-life and she is an outspoken advocate for the 2nd Amendment. I am honored to have Governor Palin’s support in the June 4th Special Election.”
