Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Chairman Jenny Beth Martin today released the following statement announcing the endorsement of Eric Burlison to represent Missouri’s 7^th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives:

“A sixth-generation Missourian with two decades of private sector experience as an investment advisor and software consultant – that is, experience in the real world – Eric Burlison has long been a champion of simple Tea Party principles, working to ensure personal freedom, economic freedom, and a debt-free future.

“Since coming to Congress following service in the Missouri state legislature, he’s been an America First patriot. He’s worked to cut taxes, and he introduced a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution to cap the national debt and curb Washington’s reckless spending. He’s been a tireless advocate for the Second Amendment, and a strong supporter of securing our southern border and ending illegal immigration.

“Eric is a strong supporter of the SAVE America Act, which requires states to obtain documentary proof of citizenship before registering a new voter. He urged the Senate to employ a “talking filibuster,” in which opponents of the legislation would be required to physically speak on the floor for extended periods to block the bill rather than simply filing a cloture objection. Our activists and supporters appreciate that level of determination to pass the bill.

“On behalf of Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, I am pleased to endorse Eric Burlison for the U.S. House from Missouri’s 7^th congressional district, and I urge every voter in Missouri’s 7^th congressional district to make a plan to vote for Eric Burlison in the November 3 general election.”

Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is committed to equipping grassroots activists at the state and local level with the tools and resources needed to hold elected officials and government accountable and elect new and qualified candidates.
