Sen. Ron Johnson would be tremendous asset in Republican leadership

I’m supporting Ron Johnson in the Senate leadership race because we need more leaders who will boldly advance the conservative agenda.

Senator Johnson’s remarkable election last year–along with his new colleagues, elected in the 2010 tidal wave–sent a powerful message that Americans want proven conservative fighters, not the entrenched establishment. Americans want senators who won’t back down or go-along-to-get-along, and who will work tirelessly to limit government, rein in out-of-control spending, and end our crushing debt burden.

Now more than ever, we need someone who won’t roll over; Ron Johnson is a fighter, and he would be a tremendous asset in Republican leadership.
