It was another perfect "10" evening, with blue skys, perfect temps, and great food. Lizbeth's fund raiser was well attended, at a private home in Naples, with a group of approx. 100 supporters. Sarah Palin reiterated, "district 19th is the news a lot, we hear it all the way to Alaska, the status quo has got to go!" She called Lizbeth a "mama grizzly", who will stand to protect the next generation". Both Lizbeth & Sarah served all the guests a menu of pulled port and beans.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 26, 2014 Contact: Erin Isaac, 850-345-7744 Lizbeth Benacquisto Welcomes Governor Sarah Palin Endorsement PALIN: Lizbeth Benacquisto is the only proven conservative in the race In the wake of the humiliation our former U.S. Representative in Congress caused our community, Lizbeth Benacquisto stood up and offered her proven record as a conservative warrior. When she did, Lizbeth also sought the support of fellow conservative warriors like Governor Sarah Palin. Today, we learned that Governor Palin has honored that request and given her unconditional endorsement and support to Lizbeth's campaign for Congress. (See Governor Palin’s statement below.) "On the national stage, there is no greater voice for principled conservatism and the spirit of the Founders than Governor Sarah Palin," said Benacquisto. "To have the support of Sarah, someone so dedicated to getting this nation back on the path to prosperity, is a tremendous honor." In her endorsement, Palin explained that Benacquisto "is the only proven conservative in the race. She served her constituents well, and has never forgotten who put her in office - the people. Lizbeth will take these values to Washington to fight for us all." "I am proud to have the recognition of Sarah and grateful that patriots in this congressional district know they have a conservative they can trust," concluded Benacquisto. STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN: LIZBETH BENACQUISTO FOR U.S. HOUSE FROM FLORIDA “We have been lucky to visit southwest Florida on several occasions and know it is one of the warmest places in the country. The warmth comes not only from the sun, but also from the citizens. We met many dedicated patriots in Naples, Florida, on our recent book tour. They deserve better representation than what they have had recently. Lizbeth Benacquisto is the only proven conservative in the race. She served her constituents well, and has never forgotten who put her in office – the people. Lizbeth will take these values to Washington to fight for us all. “Lizbeth Benacquisto is a proven conservative with an unwavering commitment to the principles of our Founders and to the sanctity of life. In the Florida State Senate she has a record that demonstrates a willingness to take on special interests and rein in the scope of government. A fierce advocate for her constituents, Lizbeth has introduced and pushed through legislation to protect our senior citizens. “In particular, Lizbeth’s personal triumph over hardship and staunch defense of life is inspiring. In 2010, her opponent, to his detriment, tried to use her past against her; watch her inspiring response here: http://youtu.be/tODVWh6i_MM. We need this fighter and advocate for women and innocent life in Washington! “I admire and respect the good folks supporting other candidates in this race, but we’ll have to disagree on this one. Lizbeth is running against a wealthy self-funded candidate with lots of splashy campaign ads claiming to be a conservative. Since when do conservatives stand for crony capitalism and government bailouts? Please do your homework, voters. Look beyond the fancy anonymous campaign ads. Look at a candidate’s record, not just their rhetoric. Lizbeth is a genuine conservative with a track record to prove it.” -Sarah Palin # # # Dear Friends,

During the 2012 election I offered my name as a candidate in Florida's 19th Congressional District. Now, as a job creator and businessman, I am even more certain that our voice in Congress must be someone who is a genuine conservative and a person we know and trust. That is why I am proud to announce that I am voting for Lizbeth Benacquisto in the upcoming special election. All of us in this district have learned a tough lesson about trust. Our community gave its support to an unproven newcomer with no prior record of public service and the disastrous results underscore the importance of electing a proven leader. In just over 3 years as our voice in Tallahassee, Lizbeth has demonstrated that she has earned our trust and our votes. Lizbeth Benacquisto has fought for balanced budgets and smaller government. She has brought us tax cuts every year, cuts that are helping small business owners get people back to work. She's also applied conservative principles to everything she's done; supporting local control of education, protecting kids from predators, and keeping our promises to seniors and veterans. Having seen her stand up to special interests in the Florida Senate, I am confident that she will put our community first in the United States Congress. On April 22nd, I am voting for Lizbeth Benacquisto for Congress. She's the best candidate for small business owners like me, and the best candidate for restoring conservative principles in Washington. Join me by giving your support to Lizbeth on April 22nd. Sincerely, Gary Aubuchon President, Aubuchon Team of Companies |
