Press Release: Bill McCollum Endorsed by National Social Conservative Leader Gary Bauer’s Campaign for Working Families

Tallahassee, FL – Today, the McCollum for Governor Campaign announced American Values President, Campaign for Working Families Chairman, and national social conservative leader Gary Bauer has endorsed Bill McCollum in the Florida Republican primary for governor.

“It gives me great pleasure to have Gary supporting my campaign. As a strong Christian and national leader on family issues, Gary has been a leading voice in the social conservative movement,” said Attorney General Bill McCollum. “As Governor, I will continue to stand up for the rights of the unborn, fight for family values, and advance initiatives that will strengthen Florida’s businesses and families.”

“Now more than ever, we need men and women who understand the proper, limited role of government,” said Gary Bauer. “Bill McCollum’s leadership in support of pro-family, pro-life, and pro-free enterprise policies is greatly valued by the Campaign for Working Families and all of our members. I’m proud to stand with him in the fight for family, faith and freedom.”

As a champion for pro-life, pro-family and pro-growth values, Gary Bauer is a leading voice in the national social conservative movement. During President Reagan’s Administration, Bauer served as Under Secretary of Education and as President Reagan’s Chief Domestic Policy Advisor. In 1996, he launched the Campaign for Working Families, a political action committee dedicated to electing pro-family, pro-life conservatives to public office. In its first two years of operation, Campaign for Working Families raised $7 million with 90,000 individual contributors and today remains one of America’s largest conservative political action committees.
