Former candidate for the U.S. Senate seat from Utah released the following statement today:
“I wish to formally congratulate Mike Lee on his victory in the Republican primary election, and I offer my endorsement of his candidacy to replace Senator Bob Bennett. I also want to encourage all of my supporters to help him in the general [...]
Political parties, that is. Since 1976, taxpayers have subsidized a portion of the cost of political conventions, with the money derived from the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. In 2008, the Republican and Democrat conventions received a total of $33.6 million for grants to hold their political conventions (this is in addition to appropriations they received [...]
According to the Congressional Budget Office, over the next ten years the IRS will require between $5 billion and $10 billion in funding to implement Obamacare.
Scores of new federal mandates and fifteen different tax increases totaling $400 billion are imposed under this bill. In addition to more complicated tax returns, families and small businesses [...]
As you know, these are times of great consequence. The politicians in Washington are taking this nation from a land of opportunity and liberty to a nation controlled by the federal government. Utah needs a conservative leader they can trust—someone they can be proud of to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
Let me tell you a little about my husband, Tim Bridgewater. Not only is he the man I fell in love with and the father of my children, he is also a leader who we can trust to be our voice. Tim grew up in a trailer park in West Jordan, hauling hay and laying brick to help support his family. He learned early that opportunity and good fortune come to those who are willing to work hard. He has spent his career providing opportunities for others by starting new businesses and creating jobs here in Utah. Over the years, I have watched him make tough decisions for his businesses, staying up late to balance budgets, make payroll, and ensure that employees could provide for their families.
No one in Utah is better prepared to become our next U.S. Senator. That’s because Tim is not a politician. He’s a husband and a father who works hard and wants to give back. He understands what it’s like to struggle to put food on the table. Like you, Tim is deeply concerned about the future of our country. He is as comfortable talking with blue-collar workers as he is with business leaders, ambassadors, and presidents. There is no one in this state he cannot represent, and no one in Washington who will intimidate him. He is ready to go to Washington—ready to fight to protect our constitutional rights, balance the budget, and get government out of our lives.
Thank you for considering my husband, Tim Bridgewater, for the U.S. Senate. He will represent Utahns the way we deserve to be represented.
Warm regards,
Laura Bridgewater
