Former Idaho GOP Chairman and Lieutenant
Governor candidate Steve Yates announced today
the endorsement of former Vice President Dick
Cheney.
Republican Steve Yates is running for Idaho
Lieutenant Governor in 2018 to put his
conservative principles into action.
Steve’s 25-year career in public service,
beginning as a China policy expert and
culminating with his election as Chairman of the
Idaho Republican Party, included time at the
conservative Heritage Foundation and advising
Vice President Dick Cheney as his Deputy
National Security Advisor.
Since 2011, Steve has run his business here in
Idaho, where he’s dedicated his time and energy
to serving Republicans across the state.
As our next Lieutenant Governor, Steve said he
will continue his lifelong work protecting our
shared conservative values, controlling
government spending, standing up for education,
and strengthening our economy to create good
jobs.
In a letter to Yates, Vice President Cheney said
“The future of our Party and nation depend on
our ability to recruit and elect men and women
committed to the values upon which our republic
was founded. I know firsthand your dedication
and devotion to these principles. I share your
conviction that we have an obligation to make
certain our children and grandchildren have the
same opportunities we’ve had. I am happy to
support your efforts, and wish you every success
in your campaign.”
“I am honored to have the support of such a
distinguished national leader and influential
conservative voice over many decades” said
Yates. "Serving in Vice President Cheney's
office as a Deputy National Security Advisor, I
learned valuable lessons in leadership and
service. I hope to bring these traits with me to
the Statehouse as Idaho's next Lieutenant
Governor"
"I am delighted to see that you have decided to
run for public office," Cheney wrote. "You did
outstanding work for me during my time as Vice
President. I especially appreciated your efforts
as we wrestled with difficult and challenging
problems in the aftermath of 9/11. Your work as
a deputy on my national security staff and your
knowledge and expertise of key areas of the
world were invaluable to me.
"The future of our party and our nation depend
upon our ability to recruit and elect men and
women committed to the values upon which our
republic was founded. I know first hand your
dedication and devotion to those principles. I
share your conviction that we have an obligation
to make certain our children
and grandchildren have the same opportunities
we've had."
"I am happy to be able to support your efforts
and wish you every success in your campaign." |
