MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – All current and former U.P. Republican lawmakers announce their endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.
In a joint press release sent Friday morning, five current and former state legislators endorsed and encouraged Trump to host a rally in the Superior Dome in Marquette or U.P. State Fairgrounds in Escanaba.
The press release included the following statements from each of the law makers.
Senator Ed McBroom said “It has always been abundantly clear to me that the voters of the Upper Peninsula overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. It is time to stand beside one-another and speak with one united voice. Trump will be our nominee, and it is imperative that we replace President Biden.”
Rep. Greg Markkanen said “The policies of the last 3 years cannot continue. We have seen lawlessness and previously unimaginable horrors at our southern border long-enough. A country without a border cannot survive forever, and the person who is best able to put an end to it is Donald Trump.”
Rep. Dave Prestin said “Since taking office, Biden has presided over the worst economy since Jimmy Carter. He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, ended drilling contracts that would have kept us energy independent, destroyed the value of the American dollar, and is pushing extreme energy policies that will result in rolling blackouts and higher rates. Yoopers can’t afford four more years of Bidenomics.”
Fmr. Rep. Beau LaFave said “When Trump was president, our world was a safer place. Trump halted the steady stream of illegal immigration from Mexico, secured peace treaties in the Middle East, and negotiated an end to hostilities in Afghanistan. Biden, on the other hand, has allowed fentanyl and criminals to flow unimpeded across the border, abandoned our allies in Afghanistan to the privations of terrorists, and sent pallets of cash to Iran that funded the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.”
Fmr. Rep. Matt Huuki said “At home and abroad, things were undeniably better under Trump. Russia and China didn’t dare seize territory, the border was closed, unemployment was the lowest in history, we could afford to feed our families, and heat our homes. This election could not be more clear: we can continue the downhill slide of the Biden Administration, or we can Make America Great Again!”
