PENN VALLEY, CA – Republican U.S. congressional candidate Sam Aanestad today received support from FreedomWorks, one of the largest Republican organizing groups in the country.
FreedomWorks PAC, led by Dick Armey, announced this morning that they have officially endorsed Aanestad’s candidacy for California’s 1st Congressional District, a seat opened by the retirement of longtime Rep. Wally Herger.
The endorsement from FreedomWorks PAC, a Washington, D.C., based political action committee led by Dick Armey, is a powerful statement from a national organization that has endorsed individuals like Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, and Rand Paul.
“I’m proud to have earned FreedomWorks’ endorsement,” said Aanestad. “It’s just another affirmation that my record as a conservative committed to protecting the Constitution has widespread support, from Washington DC to the heart of the North State.”
Aanestad was first elected to the California State Assembly in 1998 to represent the 3rd District. He spent 12 years in the California State Legislature and never voted for a tax increase or an unbalanced budget, something no other candidate for California’s 1st Congressional District can claim.
