After months of dabbling with the idea of getting into the race himself, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) has decided to join the campaign of another Republican contender, Bruce Blakeman.
Here's what King, now an honorary chairman for Blakeman's run for Senate,
had to say about his political partner:
“Now, more than ever, New York needs a fighter in the Senate. A leader who will stand up and make the tough decisions needed to protect our state and our country,” the Long Island congressman said in a statement released by Blakeman’s campaign.
“Bruce Blakeman is clearly that person and I look forward to partnering with him to get our nation back on the right track. Bruce is a strong supporter of policies that will improve our security, intelligence and national defense capabilities.”
“He has outstanding homeland security credentials and firmly supports a strong national defense. Bruce will be a close partner in the U.S. Senate on homeland security issues facing our state and country.”
