Crawford Earns Endorsement of American Conservative Union PAC

JONESBORO –  First District Congressional candidate, United States Army veteran, and agri-business owner Rick Crawford announced the endorsement today of the American Conservative Union Political Action Committee.  ACU PAC, which organizes each year the annual CPAC gathering of conservatives, cites Rick as the clear conservative choice for voters in November.

“Rick Crawford is the clear conservative choice for Arkansas’ First District,” said ACU PAC Chairman David A. Keene.  “His willingness to take on seven term liberal incumbent Marion Berry encouraged Berry to retire.  Rick Crawford has pledged to repeal Obamacare, increase domestic energy production and fight any attempt by either party to expand government or increase spending.  I urge all conservatives to support Rick Crawford and give Arkansas’ First District the representation it deserves.”

This endorsement comes as Rick Crawford continues to gain huge amounts of traction in his campaign to get Washington off the back of Arkansas’ businesses, farmers and family budgets. Leading into the final three months of the campaign, Crawford has racked up several major endorsements including the most recent from Terry Green and Richard Walden.

“It is an honor to add the endorsement of the nation’s largest conservative organization to the growing list of those who will stand with me against big government, higher taxes and Obamacare,” said Crawford.  “The ACU PAC’s support in this race further demonstrates conservatives in the First District are ready for a Congressman in Washington who will stand up to the liberal Obama-Pelosi agenda,” concluded Crawford.

Statement from Rick Crawford on Endorsement from Independent Richard Walden

JONESBORO –   “I am looking forward to Richard joining our campaign,” said Crawford.  “I know that Richard and I both agree that the liberal agenda in Washington, being led by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, must have a check and balance to ensure that the voices of Arkansans in the First District will be heard.  In the days and weeks ahead, I look forward to visiting with conservative Independents so they know where I stand on the critical issues facing our nation.  I look forward to earning their votes, as well as conservative Democrats, on November 2^nd “concluded Crawford.

Congressional Candidate Terry Green Endorses Rick Crawford

JONESBORO – First District Congressional candidate, United States Army veteran, and agri-business owner Rick Crawford announced the endorsement of Terry Green today.  Green, who ran in the six-man race for the Democratic nomination in May, stated that Rick Crawford is the clear choice for voters in November.

“I got to know Rick as we met at various campaign events across the District and found him dedicated to the people of the First District more than he was any political party” said Green.  “I believe Rick Crawford will put us first in Washington as he fights to restore our economy, put people back to work, and implement common-sense based healthcare reform.”

Green was born and raised in Dewitt. He earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Arkansas, completed a surgical internship at Baylor University in Dallas and an orthopedic residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.  Green served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves for six years.  He has been married for 35 years and has four grown children and two grandchildren.

“It is an honor to receive the endorsement of Dr. Green.  It was a pleasure getting to know Dr. Green as we met on the campaign trail during the primary season and found him to be a passionate American who wanted to do what was right for the people of the First District” said Crawford.  “I share those same passions as Dr. Green and I look forward to working with him as we continue on to November 2^nd” concluded Crawford.

This is the ninth endorsement for Rick Crawford.  The most recent endorsements come from three senior advisors that served on the Tim Wooldridge for Congress Campaign.

Senior Wooldridge Campaign Advisors Join Crawford Campaign

JONESBORO – First District Congressional candidate, United States Army veteran, and agri-business owner Rick Crawford announced the addition of three new members to his campaign cabinet. The three members, who all served previously on Tim Wooldridge’s congressional campaign, will be serving in similar capacities on the Crawford campaign.

Todd Gazaway, of Paragould, served as Campaign Chairman for the Tim Wooldridge for Congress Campaign. Todd will hold a similar position with Crawford and cited Rick’s conservative values as the reason for his support. “Rick is the pro-life, pro-traditional values candidate that reflects my values and the values of Arkansans in the First District. It will be an honor working with him and his other senior staff as we progress further in his campaign.”

Barry Phillips, of Jonesboro, served as a senior staff member and financial advisor for Tim Wooldridge for Congress. Phillps, who like Gazaway cited Crawford’s conservative values, also underscored Rick’s experience in job creation as his reason for joining the campaign. “Rick understands that every piece of legislation has a moral implication for families in the First District and I believe Rick is the person we need in Washington at this very critical time in our country.”

Doug Smith, of Cave City, who served as senior field director for Tim Wooldridge for Congress, will serve in the same position on the Crawford Campaign. “Rick is going to do all he can to help put people back to work and ensure that Arkansans in the First District come first, not any political agenda in Washington.”

“It is truly and honor and a privilege to work with these men on my campaign” Said Crawford. “Each of these men has been active leaders in the First District and I am looking forward to working with them in my campaign to restore our economy, our values, and our country”, concluded Crawford.
