Ending Spending – a nonpartisan advocacy group dedicated to reducing excessive government spending and waste, and restoring responsible spending practices in government – today endorsed fiscal conservatives Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli for governor and entrepreneur Pete Snyder for lieutenant governor in Virginia’s 2013 gubernatorial race.
“As the eyes of the nation turn to key gubernatorial races, the issue of economic responsibility will be a yardstick for how voters will measure up candidates, and Virginia will play a critical role in the ongoing national discussion of how we solve the problem of growing state and federal debts,” said Brian Baker, president of Ending Spending. “Ken Cuccinelli and Pete Snyder recognize that our country cannot get on the path to prosperity with bigger government and more spending and debt.”
Baker added, “We were proud to work with Attorney General Cuccinelli on the legal fight against Obamacare, which contains over a trillion dollars in new spending over the next ten years. And Pete Snyder is a highly successful innovator and job creator who knows that the only way to stop saddling future generations with crushing debt is to create long-lasting economic growth. Their demonstrated records as conservative leaders make them a great team to lead Virginia.”
