Former Arkansas Governor, Conservative Presidential Candidate and now the host of a nationally viewed political commentary program on FOX News, Mike Huckabee announced his support for Lt. Governor Andre Bauer as the next Governor of South Carolina.
In an email sent to tens of thousands of supporters throughout the state, Governor Huckabee said:
“In the not too distant future, you will have an opportunity to set a new direction for the State of
South Carolina. I ask you to consider my dear friend André Bauer as your next Governor.
André Bauer is a champion we can believe in. He has fought for the people of
South Carolina since the day he was elected to the House of Representatives
in 1996. As Lt. Governor, he has ruled against every single proposed tax
increase, saving the people of South Carolina $2 billion.
He also understands the basic Reagan Philosophy of the government that
governs least is the government that governs best. As a small business owner
himself, he sees everyday that too much government interference in our lives
leads to less opportunity and less individual freedom. Simply put, André is
one of the few politicians today that still signs the front of a paycheck
and doesn’t just receive one. His vigor, positive attitude and tireless work
ethic will bring jobs and prosperity to South Carolina, I am convinced of it!
Send a champion of less government, less taxes, and more individual freedoms
to the Governor’s office.”
“I am humbled and thrilled at receiving Governor Huckabee’s support,” said Lt Governor Andre Bauer. “Although I have not formally announced, my efforts to do so are greatly enhanced by having the support of such a solid, principled conservative,” continued Bauer.
“As our campaign for Governor prepares to kickoff, I will remain true to those conservative principles and South Carolina values that so often get taken for granted. It’s important that we, as elected officials, follow through on our promises…in word and deed,” concluded Bauer.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee received over 130,000 votes in the 2008 Presidential Primary in South Carolina on January 19, finishing second to John McCain. His solid support and placement in the first-in-the-South primary launched a thrilling presidential primary contest.
