Conservative Leadership for Southern Illinois
Conservative Leadership for Southern Illinois
“Excited to once again receive the endorsement of the NRA – National Rifle Association of America with an A+ rating. Our right to keep and bear arms is nonnegotiable and I’ll always defend the 2nd Amendment in Congress. #2A #shallnotbeinfringed” – Congressman Mike Bost
MURPHYSBORO, IL – U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today released the following statement following Joe Biden ending his presidential campaign:
“Republicans in Congress and concerned citizens across America have questioned President Biden’s fitness for office for months,” said Bost. “After dismissing those concerns at every turn, Biden’s allies have now forced him out of the campaign in hopes of salvaging races up and down the ballot. Unfortunately for them, it’s too late. The American people are hungry for change and for real leadership, and you aren’t going to get that from Vice President Harris or any of the other top Democrats who helped create this mess in the first place. President Trump is the clear front runner heading into November, regardless of who the Democrats nominate at their convention.”

“Yesterday we witnessed the end stage of a political witch hunt. I believe President Trump’s position will only be strengthened with Americans around the country who won’t be fooled by the results of this sham trial. We are fed up with the election interference of vindictive liberals. I proudly stand with Donald Trump and will continue working as hard as possible to ensure he wins re-election and Makes America Great Again.”
MURPHYSBORO, IL – U.S. Rep. Mike Bost (IL-12) issued the following statement in response to his Republican primary victory:
“I’m honored that Southern Illinois conservatives have entrusted me to be their voice in Congress for another two years. Serving the people and land I love is the honor of a lifetime. Tuesday’s victory was only possible because of the backing of countless friends and supporters from every corner of the district, along with a vitally important endorsement from Donald J. Trump, our next president of the United States.
“While primaries are never easy, I’m proud that we remained focused on the issues voters care about and ran a positive, results-oriented campaign. I’m hopeful we can work to reunify our party in advance of a critical general election.”

Mike Bost has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”

I look forward to standing side-by-side with him in the fight to Make America Great Again once we’re both re-elected this November.”

U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today announced that his 2024 re-election campaign has been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization.
“Our members continue to face challenges and setbacks – from rampant inflation and labor shortages to high taxes and over-regulation. It is vital for us to back candidates like you who focus on solutions that will bring certainty and stability to small business,” said Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director. “On behalf of NFIB members in the 12th District and throughout America, congratulations on your endorsement. We are thrilled to support your campaign and look forward to working with you to help small businesses thrive.”
“I have a long history with the NFIB, dating back to when my father served on the NFIB state board while running our family’s trucking company,” said Bost. “I’ve owned a small business, and I understand what it is like to sign both sides of a paycheck. I know our job creators in Southern Illinois are struggling in Joe Biden’s economy. I am thankful to receive the endorsement of NFIB because they recognize I am fighting to cut through big government bureaucracy so our small businesses can flourish.”

U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today announced that his 2024 re-election campaign has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF). 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.”
