Bradley Byrne got a significant endorsement from former Florida governor Jeb Bush. Here's the press release:
MONTGOMERY – March 9, 2010 – Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush today announced his endorsement of Bradley Byrne for Governor of Alabama.
“Bradley Byrne is the conservative reformer in the race for Governor of Alabama. Bradley will work hard to reform government and improve the quality of education so Alabama can create a business climate that will attract investment and high wage jobs to the state,” said Governor Bush.
“I am honored to receive Governor Bush’s endorsement and am so proud to have his support on our campaign. As Governor of our neighboring state, Jeb Bush created jobs, cut taxes and made great strides in reforming and improving Florida’s education system. His tenure provides a tremendous example of conservative leadership for all state governments, and his counsel and support means the world to Rebecca and me,” said Byrne.
Governor Bush will appear as the special guest at a Byrne for Alabama campaign event in Birmingham in early April.
Jeb Bush was Florida’s 43rd Governor, serving from 1999-2007. He is the Chairman of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, which is championing a movement of reform, state by state, across America to transform education for the 21st century economy.
This should help shore up Byrne's conservative cred. I heard Jeb Bush at an Alabama Policy Institute dinner a few years ago and he was very impressive. I think he is more conservative than his brother, and is a man of great intellect. His endorsement of Byrne should go a long way in easing the concerns of Republicans who have been skittish thus far.
