Jon Bruning statement on the Mike Huckabee endorsement (MP3)

Nebraska Attorney General and U.S. Senate Candidate Jon Bruning announced today he has the endorsement of former Arkansas Governor and 2008 Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee in his campaign to unseat Ben Nelson.

“I’m proud to endorse my good friend Attorney General Jon Bruning,” said Governor Huckabee. “I know he has the conservative record and proven leadership that Nebraskans need in the United States Senate. I’m confident that he’ll be a strong voice in the fight to balance the federal budget, eliminate the deficit, and repeal the federal takeover of health care.”

From 1996-2007, Huckabee served as the 44th Governor of Arkansas and was recognized nationally for his leadership, having been honored by several renowned publications and organizations for his numerous accomplishments. Huckabee is the host of the number one rated weekend hit “HUCKABEE” on the Fox News Channel, and is heard three times daily across the nation on the “Huckabee Report” syndicated on almost 600 stations by the Citadel Media Network, where it has been the fastest growing new program on the Citadel Media Network.

“Governor Huckabee has been in the arena; he knows how to govern effectively, how to make the tough decisions we need our leaders to make, and he knows how to lead. I’m humbled and honored by his endorsement, which continues to provide momentum for our campaign,” said Bruning.
