BOST ENDORSED BY LEADING HOUSE CONSERVATIVE ELISE STEFANIK

U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) announced that U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the House Republican Conference chair and leading ally of President Trump, has endorsed his re-election campaign. Stefanik gained national prominence recently for her committee questioning of liberal university presidents who were protecting violent antisemitic hate speech on campus.

“Mike Bost is an America First conservative who holds the D.C. liberals accountable and delivers real results for his district,” said Stefanik. “That’s the type of leadership we desperately need in Washington right now. I’m proud to endorse Mike Bost for re-election and look forward to continuing our work together to strengthen America’s future.”

“Elise is a conservative rockstar in Congress who fights hard to hold the liberals accountable for their hypocrisy and hate speech,” said Bost. “I am thankful for her endorsement and leadership as we work to re-elect President Trump and advance the America First agenda in the House.”

Stefanik’s endorsement adds to the growing list of conservatives endorsing Bost’s re-election. Bost’s campaign has been endorsed by over 150 GOP local officials, National Right to Life, NRA, Illinois Farm Bureau, Illinois FOP State Lodge, Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois, Speaker Mike Johnson, and leading House conservatives Jim Jordan, Byron Donalds, Ronny Jackson, and Max Miller.

NRA ENDORSES MIKE BOST FOR CONGRESS

Bost has now been endorsed by the largest gun rights and pro-life advocacy groups in America, along with the top organizations representing Illinois’ farmers, law enforcement, and firefighters.

“As Chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, you are leading the effort to protect veterans from being deprived of their Second Amendment rights without due process of law. We thank you for your continued opposition to the Hakeem Jeffries and Joe Biden gun control agenda of banning lawfully-owned firearms, ammunition, and magazines,” said Randy Kozuch, Chairman of the NRA-PFV. “Thank you for defending NRA members and law-abiding gun owners in Illinois and throughout the country. Congratulations on your endorsement and thank you for your support of the Second Amendment.”

“Failed politicians will make a big show out of supporting the Second Amendment, but when push comes to shove, they never deliver. Well, that’s not Mike Bost, said Bost. “The Second Amendment is not a publicity stunt to me. From my work in Springfield, where I was the lead sponsor of Illinois’ conceal carry law, to my time in Congress, where I am standing on the frontlines against woke liberals trying to take away our guns, I will never back down. I thank the NRA and gun owners across Southern Illinois for their strong support.”
