Judy Burges Endorses Frank Riggs For GovernorPosted: 2014-07-12 7-10-14 Forwarded by Thayer Verschoor State Senator and Conservative Icon Judy Burges Endorses Frank Riggs for Governor; Says “I Trust Frank Riggs to Defend Conservative Values”
Cave Creek, Arizona - Arizona State Senator Judy Burges (R-LD 22) today endorsed Frank Riggs for the Republican nomination for Arizona Governor. Burges said, “Frank is an Army veteran and former police officer and deputy sheriff. As our next Governor, I know he’ll make public safety and securing our border his top priority.” Burges continued, “Frank is also a former U.S. Congressman who served with distinction as a reformer and leader of Congress. His voting record earned him the highest ratings and endorsements from National Right to Life and the NRA. He’s the proven and consistent conservative choice for Governor.” Riggs said, “I’m honored to receive Sen. Burges’ endorsement. She is one of the most principled conservative leaders of the State Legislature and is widely respected as both a fiscal and social conservative, in her Sun City-based legislative district and beyond.” Burges represents a number of veterans and seniors and has been a voice in the Legislature for both. She voted against Medicaid expansion under Obamacare and is one of 36 Republican lawmakers to join a Goldwater Institute lawsuit challenging that legislation, and specifically the levy on hospitals, for circumventing the State Constitution requiring a two-thirds vote to raise taxes, fees or assessments. Burges said, “As a former Congressman, Frank understands that the legislative branch of government is a co-equal partner with the executive branch.” Riggs said, “As a member of Congress, I fought a bruising battle to reform and strengthen Medicare and put that retirement health insurance program on sound long-term footing. I’m opposed to Obamacare for many reasons, not least of which is that it diverts $1 trillion in Medicare funding to pay for Obamacare subsidies, including $200 million from Medicare Advantage which approximately 25% of Medicare recipients use.” The Arizona Chapter of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons recently endorsed Riggs as “the only candidate committed to rolling back the Obamacare Medicaid expansion.” Burges concluded, “I trust Frank Riggs. He has a proven record of standing up for our veterans and seniors. I know he’ll defend the conservative values we share and lead with humility and integrity. I urge my constituents and all Arizonans to support and vote for him.” Riggs has also been endorsed by former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum and former State Senate President Russell Pearce among others.
