There’s a lot at stake this fall when Virginians go to the polls to cast their ballot for governor, including the fate of their wallets. For voters who want to put a stop to runaway spending at both the state and federal levels, the choice for governor is clear– Ken Cuccinelli.
A man of deep conviction and principle, Ken always fights for limited government, which by definition also means a government that lives within its means. As Attorney General of Virginia, Ken understood that the law known as “Obamacare” represented a fundamental shift in America. Not only was it the first time that the federal government mandated citizens to purchase something, it also will blow a hole in our national budget, with over a trillion in new spending. We were proud to work with Attorney General Cuccinelli as he challenged Obamacare in the courts – indeed, Ending Spending filed a “friend of the court” brief in the Supreme Court detailing all of the questionable tactics used by those in Congress and the Administration to pass Obamacare without a single vote from the minority party.
While his opponent has pledged to put Virginia on an unsustainable course of higher spending, Ken Cuccinelli has vowed to chart a course of fiscal responsibility and limited spending. Ken also has received the support of business leaders across the state, because of his detailed and comprehensive plans for economic growth.
If we are going to fix the problems in Washington, D.C., we must also have partners in the states who govern in a responsible manner. Governors like Chris Christie and Scott Walker – and hopefully Ken Cuccinelli – serve as a model for good government, and they aren’t afraid to hold Washington accountable. For these reasons, Ending Spending is proud to endorse Ken Cuccinelli for Governor.
