Former New York Mayor and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani has endorsed GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, according to a press release from the Whitman team released this morning.
Whitman has already received endorsements from other national GOP figures such as Sen. John McCain, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney - both of them presidential candidates last year - and Republican Minority Whip Rep. Eric Cantor.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner has received endorsements from a handful of federal legislators, including Reps. Elton Gallegly, Jerry Lewis and Gary Miller, according to Poizner's Web site.
Here's part of the Whitman press release:
Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for Governor, today announced the endorsement of Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York City and 2008 Republican candidate for President."Rudy Giuliani's reputation as a leader who takes on challenges and makes the tough choices necessary to improve people's lives is well deserved. Whether responding to tragedy or fixing broken government programs, Giuliani's leadership is a model for getting results," said Whitman. "I am grateful for Mayor Giuliani's support."
"Meg Whitman is simply the best person to lead our country's largest state," Giuliani said. "Meg's disciplined focus on creating jobs, cutting wasteful spending and improving education is the right course for California. I also believe that Meg Whitman can help reenergize the grassroots of the Republican Party."
