Statement by Gary Glenn, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, on Gov. Scott Walker’s victory in Wisconsin:
“Scott Walker’s decisive victory over government employee union bosses is an historic turning point that proves we can save our country from bankruptcy and socialism, but the part Michigan can play in that historic opportunity will be thrown away if we send Big Labor-backed Republican Pete Hoekstra back to Washington.
Hoekstra has been endorsed and funded by Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, opposed state and national Right to Work laws, and cosponsored with Obama and Stabenow a federal mandate that would have forced every state and local government in America to unionize its police, firefighters, and paramedics, giving government employee union bosses even more power and money.
The historic opportunity Scott Walker has given Republicans, Pete Hoekstra would take away.” – Gary Glenn
