GIULIANI ENDORSES STRATEN

Local businessman garners coveted endorsement from America's Mayor

PATERSON, NJ - Campaign headquarters for Roland Straten, Republican candidate for New Jersey's

8^th Congressional district, today announced the endorsement of former New York City Mayor, Rudy Giuliani. The Straten campaign calls the public supports of the widely respected political icon a “shot in the arm” to a campaign that has been energized in recent weeks.

“We're thrilled with the endorsement from America’s Mayor, especially at this pivotal time in the race,” said Campaign Manager, Bobbi Bennett.

“Mayor Giuliani's courage in the days following the terrorist attack on 9/11 inspired a nation, and I'm honored to have his support,” said Straten. “I am committed to strengthening our national defense and giving the military the tools they need to defeat radical Islamic fundamentalism.” He added, “The mayor’s fortitude in tackling the fiscal problems in New York is just the kind of principled leadership we need in Washington today. I hope to follow his model in Congress.”

Giuliani's decision to support the fiscally conservative candidate came after following the progress of

his campaign over the last few months. “Straten is just the kind of guy we need to send to Washington, at a time when out-of-control spending has saddled future generations with enormous debt.” Giuliani added.

“Straten believes in cutting wasteful spending, and the power of tax cuts to spur economic growth, and he will vote to repeal the Democrat's job-killing health care entitlement. We need more people on Capitol Hill with strong backgrounds in business and economics, who understand that the private sector drives the economy, if we are to halt this march toward Socialist Democracy.”

Another reason to support this Reagan Republican, according to Giuliani, is the 40 years he spent building a successful business and creating jobs. Straten makes no apologies for his lack of political prowess saying, “I'm an engineer by trade, we analyze and solve problems. Most politicians look at the issues and try to twist them to their personal advantage, rather than breaking them down and developing viable solutions. I think we could use more problem solvers in government.”

Giuliani agrees, citing Straten's results oriented, common sense approach to the issues of the day as refreshingly pragmatic. “I believe that when you confront a problem you begin to solve it. Roland understands that we need dramatic change in Washington, and time spent jockeying for position on the issues doesn't serve the people. Straten is the kind of no-nonsense conservative that we can trust to put the country's interests ahead of his own.”
