Washington State Rep. Cary Condotta Endorses Ron Paul for the Presidency

GOP lawmaker from East Wenatchee to speak, reiterate support at state office grand opening

 

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – Washington State Rep. Cary Condotta (R- East Wenatchee) has publicly endorsed Ron Paul for the presidency, and will reiterate his support for the Champion of the Constitution at an event next week.

 

In endorsing the 12-term Congressman from Texas, Rep. Condotta praised Dr. Paul for being the most resolute on economic policy, a trait sorely needed during this period of government-imposed economic weakness.

 

“We have heard way too much about hope and change, when all we have done year after year is elect candidates with basic variations on the same game plan,” said Rep. Condotta.

 

“America became successful because Americans were unafraid to step out with bold, principle-based concepts that set us on a path to prosperity.  It is once again time to be bold and principled.  Ron Paul is the only candidate that offers that possibility,” added Rep. Condotta.

 

The North Central Washington city of Wenatchee has approximately 110,000 residents in the metro area, making it the largest city in Chelan County.  Support from Wenatcheeites such as Rep. Condotta will prove priceless leading up to the March 3, 2012 state Republican caucuses.

 

Rep. Condotta graduated from Central Washington University with a degree in economics and business.  Always interested in politics, Condotta started a radio talk show in 2000 titled “Return to America” based on the ideas of Ron Paul.  The show succeeded and in 2001 led to Condotta’s election to the Washington State House of Representatives.  Now in his fifth term, Rep. Condotta is an outspoken supporter of Ron Paul and the principles for which he stands.

 

Rep. Condotta will reiterate his endorsement before a crowd of Ron Paul supporters at 4:30 p.m. PST on Thursday, December 15that the Ron Paul Washington headquarters, located at 13600 NE 20th Street, Bellevue, WA 98005.  Doors open at 4:00 p.m.

 

Also that evening, Washington campaign staff will sign up supporters for volunteer and caucus training, distribute promotional materials, watch the GOP debate live, and involve volunteers in contacting voters.  Soft drinks and appetizers will be served initially, and pizza will be ordered during the debate time.

 

“We’re gratified to have the endorsement of Rep. Condotta, whose promotion of economic liberty is in the tradition of Ron Paul.  Rep. Condotta’s participation in our grand opening event promises the make an already-promising evening even more memorable,” said Washington State Executive Director Pedro Serra.

Ron Paul Campaign Announces ‘Hispanics for Ron Paul’ Nationwide Coalition

National coalition formed to energize Hispanic voters

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign announced today its “Hispanics for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition formed to energize Hispanic voters who support Dr. Paul.

The first “Hispanics for Ron Paul” members are people from across the nation having leadership positions within the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign.  Their membership in the coalition, then, demonstrates Hispanics’ support for Dr. Paul and the campaign’s willingness to recognize the talent of Americans of Hispanic ancestry.

“The principles of personal liberty, strong families and vision for economic prosperity resonate with me as both an American and an immigrant from Mexico.  Dr. Paul champions these principles and it is refreshing to support and work for someone who has been advocating freedom for a longer time period than I’ve been alive for,” said Fernando Cortes, Hispanic Outreach Director and Deputy Controller for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign.

“Our country is in need of leadership that will work to protect our freedoms rather than work to restrict them.  A Ron Paul presidency will ensure that liberty lives and thrives in America,” said Mr. Cortes.

In 2008, Mr. Cortes served as the Controller for the Ron Paul 2008 PCC at its headquarters in northern Virginia.  He has worked for the Leadership Institute, The American Conservative, and interned for the Heritage Foundation.  Mr. Cortes is also the Executive Director of the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program.

“As a business-owner living in Puerto Rico I feel every day the immense burden of big government’s regulations, bureaucracy, and over-taxation.  Ron Paul has unwaveringly stood up for liberty and a free-market economy, the founding principles that made our country great,” said Pedro Serra, who serves as the Washington State Executive Director for the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign.

“As President, Dr. Paul will set the example for states, and nations around the world, to embrace liberty, peace, and prosperity,” said Mr. Serra, referring to the Texas Congressman as “Doctor” because Rep. Paul is by trade an OB-GYN who personally delivered more than 4,000 babies.

Mr. Serra is small business owner from San Juan, Puerto Rico and due to his campaign work he is currently based in Seattle, Washington.

“As a Mexican-born American citizen, I understand the hardships many Mexican families endure when struggling to survive and thrive.  Our current economy makes matters worse.  Citizens of this country are seeking an honest and truthful answer.  I support Ron Paul because his economic, immigration and foreign policies are consistent with the bottom line: people from all walks of life need a president who will cut spending, lower taxes and usher in a healthy economy,” said Zaira Dynia Valdovinos, who serves as a Regional Director for the Nevada component of the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign.

“Immigration, in particular, is an issue dear to Hispanics and is also a pivotal issue to our ailing economy.  I fully support Ron Paul’s action plan to initiate a true immigration reform while not allowing amnesty to those illegally in the country.  Let the point be made clear: an illegal action is against the law, however, with respect to immigration, the law needs to be changed.  That is why I support Ron Paul; among his many sound stances on political issues, his stance on true immigration reform shines as a beacon of light for Hispanic people and for our country,” said Ms. Valdovinos, who is originally from Santa Maria, California.

Ms. Valdovinos works in the Nevada operation’s Reno office.  The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign also has a Henderson, Nevada office located minutes outside Las Vegas.

As a function of this announcement, all three members now serve on the national advisory board of “Hispanics for Ron Paul.”
