GERLACH STATEMENT ON WELCH'S WITHDRAWAL, ENDORSEMENT

(Glenmoore, PA) - Republican Congressman Jim Gerlach released the following statement after Steve Welch stepped aside today at the Chester County GOP Convention, and endorsed his re-election bid for Congress:

"I am honored to have earned the Chester County Republican Committee endorsement today and I'm extremely grateful for the support of the hardworking committee members who have been the driving force behind every one of my victories. This endorsement clearly signals that Republicans are energized and united in purpose this year. Our fight for common sense solutions that create jobs, let families keep more of their paychecks and shrink our crippling deficits is well under way.

"In that effort, I certainly appreciate the energy and passion Steve Welch has brought to this race, and I appreciate his call for important tax reductions and spending controls, including earmark reform. I wholeheartedly agree with the House Republican initiative to pass a moratorium on earmarks so that common sense can be instituted on how tax dollars are spent, and I look forward to working with all who share this view to achieve this critical reform."
