Senator John McCain Endorses Michael Grimm for Congress

U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today endorsed Michael Grimm.

“We need leaders like Michael Grimm in Congress.  Michael served as a Marine in combat for our country, continued his service for 11 more years as a Special Agent in the FBI, and then went on to become a small business owner.  Michael Grimm is an extraordinary candidate and I am proud to endorse him for New York’s 13th Congressional District."

Senator McCain continued, “Michael Grimm understands the challenging times we face as a country and he will fight to keep our country safe and against big government and higher taxes.  Michael will be an outstanding Member of Congress.”

“It is an honor and privilege to be endorsed by Senator McCain,” said Grimm. “Senator McCain’s distinguished record of leadership, experience and lifetime commitment to service makes him an inspiration to every American.  And, his unwavering commitment to eliminating wasteful government spending, lowering taxes and strengthening our nation’s armed forces were only some of the reasons that he won the 13th Congressional District in the 2008 Presidential Election.”

“On a personal note, John McCain has always been a hero to me, and while his endorsement is certainly very valuable politically, it is nothing compared to what it means to me personally,” Grimm continued.
