CONSERVATIVE ICON KEN BLACKWELL ENDORSES DAVE YOST FOR OHIO AUDITOR OF STATE
March 10, 2010 - (Columbus) Ken Blackwell today endorsed Prosecutor Dave
Yost for Auditor of State. “Dave Yost is one of us – a man of integrity who shares
and lives our values and convictions,” Blackwell said. “He knows that the government is
reaching too far into our lives and too far into our pockets – and with his
record and his experience, he has the tools he needs to fight for
us.” Blackwell is an icon among Ohio social conservatives and
has often been the standard-bearer for people disaffected with the moderate wing
of the Republican Party. “Ken
Blackwell, like Barry Goldwater, was conservative long before it was cool to be
conservative,” said Gene Pierce.
“Like Ken, Dave is pro-smaller government, pro-life, pro-family and
pro-tax cuts. There should be no argument from Ohio Republicans about
Dave’s heartfelt commitment to a conservative platform of
government.”
Blackwell won the Statewide Republican Primary for
Governor in 2006. “Ken anticipated
and led the ‘No More RINOs’ movement.” Pierce added. “His endorsement will speak
volumes in this primary, when people want true conservative leadership.” Prosecutor Yost welcomed the endorsement. “I’ve known Ken Blackwell for years, and
he does not speak lightly, or for the sake of convenience – he’s always about
what he believes to be right. I am
humbled and honored to have his strong support.”
