TOM SMITH FOR SENATE COMMENTS ON STATE COMMITTEE ENDORSEMENT
(Hershey, PA) – Tom Smith, Republican candidate for United States Senate, today released the following statements after the State Committee’s vote to endorse Steve Welch:
“I thank members of the Republican State Committee for the strong showing of support for my candidacy,” said Smith. “I congratulate Steve on his success today and look forward to a spirited primary election as we now take our case to millions of Pennsylvania Republicans. Our Party, all factions and persuasions, must stand unified to defeat Bob Casey in November, I am confident that I am the candidate best positioned to accomplish that goal.”
“In a week full of negative attacks, arm-twisting and backroom deals, Tom Smith stayed above the fray. An outsider candidate, Tom demonstrated strong establishment support and remains best positioned to unite the Republican Party and lead a successful ticket in November,” said Campaign Manager Jim Conroy. “We look forward to offering three million Republicans a clear choice between Tom Smith, a conservative business man – and Steve Welch, a self-professed moderate with a record of supporting liberal Democrats like Barack Obama and Joe Sestak.”
Smith placed second in the State Committee balloting.
