JASON LEWIS FOR CONGRESS ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENT FROM VETERAN LLOYD CHENEY
Jul 20, 2016Jason Lewis, the Republican Party of Minnesota’s endorsed candidate for Congress, is proud to announce the endorsement of combat veteran and Minnesota Republican activist Lloyd Cheney.
“I wholeheartedly endorse Jason Lewis for Congress, and if you believe that this nation needs to return to a policy of what Ronald Reagan called “Peace Through Strength” you should endorse and vote for him on August 9th as well as on November 8th“, said Cheney. “Jason Lewis is the true Republican and Conservative in this race, which was confirmed when he won the grassroots Republican Party endorsement at our district convention. Jason is the only candidate who will take Progressive Angie Craig to task and expose her for what she really is - just another big government, anti-liberty leftist, whose views are antithetical to the vast majority of citizens in Minnesota’s Second District. Please join me in support by contributing, volunteering, and voting for Jason Lewis.”
Cheney served in the Army and the Army National Guard for just over 20 years in both commissioned officer and noncommissioned officer leadership roles. He retired from military life as a result of injuries sustained in Iraq during his 2003-2005 deployment. Cheney now works giving back to his community, state and nation by being active in civic groups, advocating for Second Amendment issues as well as conservative principled causes. He has served as a delegate to the district and state Republican conventions, served as BPOU chair of House District 54B, and now serves as the Deputy Chair of the Second Congressional District Republicans of Minnesota. He and his wife Terri reside in Hastings.
“I am thrilled to have the support of Lloyd Cheney in this race for Congress. I am grateful for his service to our great nation and for his leadership here in Minnesota,” said Lewis. “I am proud to have Lloyd on Team Lewis and I look forward to working with him and our growing grassroots team to defeat radical Angie Craig in November.”
Jason Lewis spent 25 years on the air as a voice in the conservative movement. An active Minnesota resident for two decades, he and his wife Leigh have two young daughters, Lindsey and Lauren. Jason organized the first annual tax rally that has become a tradition in St. Paul, with thousands gathering to fight to keep more of what they earn. Jason is also an author, public speaker, and started his career as a business owner running Lewis Motor Supply, a small business founded by his grandfather.
