Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has newly endorsed four Republican candidates for attorney general.
Leslie Rutledge of Arkansas, Adam Laxalt of Nevada, Ken Paxton of Texas, and Mark Brnovich of Arizona each received a public show of support from the former Republican vice-presidential candidate.
Palin announced the endorsements on her Facebook page:
While most of the focus leading into 2014 elections has been on the country’s life and death fight for our future with a conservative majority serving in the U.S. Senate, there are other offices we need to count on to put a stop to the liberal Obama agenda. In individual states, good Attorney Generals have led the legal fight against Obamacare, to protect religious liberties and states’ right, and to uphold other imperative core Constitutional principles. Here are four conservative Attorney General candidates I’m supporting. They will continue the fight for all of us!
Rutledge in Arkansas took to Twitter to express her appreciation for Palin’s endorsement.
Proud to have the support of Governor @SarahPalinUSA in my campaign to become Arkansas's next Attorney General! #arpx pic.twitter.com/ghgwOruA6s
