Steve Forbes Endorses Todd Tiahrt for US Senate

Chairman and CEO of Forbes, Inc., former Presidential candidate and national conservative leader, Steve Forbes today announced his endorsement of Todd Tiahrt for the United States Senate.

“Todd Tiahrt has been a leader on the issues that matter most to conservatives,” said Forbes. “Whether he is fighting for fiscal restraint, tax reform or a strong national defense, Todd is always out front bringing others with him.”

“Steve Forbes is a great American, and I am pleased to have earned his support,” said Tiahrt. “He has advanced conservative principles as a candidate and an activist and has brought visibility to a whole host of issues like the flat tax, medical savings accounts, a new Social Security system for working Americans, parental choice of schools for their children, term limits and a strong national defense.”

“The choice in the Kansas Senate race is pretty clear,” Forbes explained. “The voters of Kansas have an opportunity to vote for a true conservative leader, whose vote can be counted on for the important issues facing our country. That conservative leader is Todd Tiahrt. Todd has the vision and leadership skills necessary to be a conservative leader in the US Senate."

Tiahrt is the leading conservative running to replace Sam Brownback in the United States Senate. He has been recognized throughout his career for fighting for lower taxes, traditional values and limited government.

GOP Leaders Call on Moran to Stop Negative Campaigning

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 1, 2010

Speaker Pro Tem of the Kansas House Arlen Siegfreid (R-Olathe), House Majority Leader Ray Merrick (R-Stilwell), Assistant Majority Leader Peggy Mast (R- Emporia) and Majority Whip Rob Olson (R-Olathe) released the following statement in reference to a quote from Jerry Moran’s U.S. Senate campaign to The Hill Blog regarding Congressman Todd Tiahrt’s complete exoneration by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct.

Siegfreid stated, “Todd Tiahrt is a man of honor and integrity, so it was no surprise to those of us who know him that he’s been fully exonerated by the Standards Committee. What does come as a surprise is the reaction from Jerry Moran, who appears poised to ignore the ruling and continue attacking Rep. Tiahrt on the issue. This isn’t the way to earn the respect of Kansans. I’m supporting a genuine statesman. Perhaps the news of Rep. Tiahrt’s exoneration and his opponent’s reaction tells voters all they need to know when choosing a Senator.”

Merrick said, “The unfounded political attacks against the character and integrity of Todd Tiahrt have no place in Kansas.”

“Apparently, the truth is not important to Jerry Moran. I am disappointed that after all his talk about his Kansas values and his Kansas roots, Jerry Moran brings the dirtiest of Washington politics home with him. Conservatives expect to be attacked by Nancy Pelosi and her liberal elite friends, but when a fellow Kansan seeks to perpetuate the same baseless, partisan slurs and false accusations it is negative campaigning at its worst. Kansans deserve better,” said Olson.

Mast stated, “Kansans believe that honesty and integrity are more than just words. We expect our political leaders to debate the issues with passion and vigor, but to conduct themselves and their campaigns with honor and truthfulness. To attack a man’s character without cause or justification is out of bounds. Jerry Moran and his staff should know better.”

Referenced quote from Jerry Moran’s campaign to The Hill Blog, “The fact there’s not apparently an ongoing inquiry by Congress, we don’t think that takes away from the manner in which Tiahrt has operated in the Congress for many years.” The senior campaign staff continued, “You will hear more from us on that.”
