In an announcement made Thursday, Nick Begich, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress from Alaska said he is endorsed by U.S. Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican.
Senator Lee’s support underscores Nick’s commitment to conservative principles and effective government, the Begich campaign wrote. The endorsement comes on the heels of the Freedom Caucus endorsement that Begich announced last week.
Sen. Lee said in his endorsement: “Congress needs real conservatives with the energy and grit to push back on the radical left, return to constitutional governance, and unleash true American innovation. I’m endorsing Nick Begich for Congress because it’s time for a true Alaskan voice to join the fight and unlock the potential of America’s last frontier.”
“Senator Lee’s endorsement means a great deal to our campaign,” Begich said in response. “He has been a steadfast advocate for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty. His support underlines our shared vision for a stronger, more prosperous America, and Alaska’s place in that prosperous future. I am honored to have his confidence and look forward to working with him to champion the values that matter most to Alaskans.”
Lee has been at the forefront of the senators who have fought against warrantless searches by the FBI, against the Green New Deal, and against an unsecured southern border.
Nick Begich is the leading Republican candidate for Alaska’s at-large seat in the U.S. Congress. Also running for Congress against Democrat Mary Peltola is Republican Nancy Dahlstrom, Alaska’s lieutenant governor, who has won the endorsement of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
