The American Conservative Union today announced its endorsement of George Phillips, the leading conservative in New York’s race for the 22nd Congressional District. The seat is currently held by Republican Richard Hanna, who is retiring at the end of his term.
“George Phillips has a long history of standing up for what is right and has worked for conservative values with the Jack Kemp Foundation, pro-life crusader Chris Smith, and President George W. Bush. George Phillips will be a needed voice in Congress and we support him enthusiastically,” said ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp. “I’m proud to call George a friend and I urge all conservatives to vote for him in the Republican primary on June 28.”
Founded in 1964, the ACU is the nation’s original conservative organization. For more than 50 years, ACU has served as an umbrella organization harnessing the collective strength of conservative organizations fighting for Americans who are concerned with liberty, personal responsibility, traditional values, and strong national defense. As one of America’s premier conservative voices, ACU promotes a conservative vision on issues before Congress, the Executive Branch, State Legislatures, the media, political candidates and the public.
