Former Alaska Gov. and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed Republican candidate Rob Steele in his bid to unseat Democratic Rep. John Dingell, reports Mlive.com.
The endorsement came on Palin’s Facebook page:
Dr. Rob Steele is challenging the longest-serving member of the House, and he needs your help. Dr. Steele is right on the issues – he’s committed to reduced spending, lower taxes, and commonsense Constitutional principles; and he’s right for Michigan – an NRA-member and avid sportsman, father, and community leader. After 55 years, it’s time for new leadership for Michigan.
Steele is a cardiologist from Ann Arbor, and Dingell is the longest serving member of Congress. How Palin’s nod will assist Steele is unknown, as recent polls have placed him in a double digit deficit in his challenge to Dingell.
