North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina -- A major national organization, Warriors for Congress, http://www.warriorsforcongress.com/ that’s supporting a select group of only eight combat veterans nationwide running for Congress, has announced that they are endorsing North Myrtle Beach’s Katherine Jenerette in her bid to become the U.S. Congressman for the 1st Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Jenerette is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War Operation Desert Storm and is still serving as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve and an Army Paratrooper assigned to Ft. Bragg.
Jenerette was named last week by Melanie Morgan, a nationally known radio host, TV personality, and fundraiser for pro-military causes, who is the Chairman of Warriors of Congress. Previously, Morgan co-founded Move America Forward, the nation’s largest grassroots, pro-troops nonprofit.
Morgan said, “Katherine Jenerette is a role model for American women and all members and veterans of the military. She’s the first female paratrooper ever to run for Congress, and she’s truly exemplary in her commitment to conservative values, the Constitution, and to our country.”
Katherine Jenerette said: “I’m more than humbled to receive the endorsement of living patriots and legends like Melanie Morgan and Catherine Moy and a superb organization like Warriors for Congress. Their national support will help me get my message across to the voters of South Carolina’s 1st District which in turn will help us to bring a constitutional voice with aggressive dedicated fighters into Washington, D.C. I’m more convinced than ever that I can win this important congressional race.”
“My principles are simple, as a congressman,” Jenerette continued. “I won't just be representing the right, left or either extreme or the people in the middle – I represent all the people as clearly stated in the Constitution of the United States of America.”
“I view myself as a strict Constitutionalist. But, I will never forget that I serve the people of my district and that includes the richest businessmen in the district and it includes single-moms with kids who are trying to get them through school to educate them and the ordinary people like me who go to work and pay their taxes and wished their government wasn't so darn big.”
“I've always thought that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual – and that one small voice is important because when we lose that, we lose what the American dream is all about.” Katherine has served as a U.S. Congressional Field Representative for the First District and as a North Myrtle Beach Planning Commissioner and is an advocate of numerous Coastal Caronia Initiatives and economic Development plans.
Warriors for Congress’ Mission Statement outlines the principles Jenerette pledged to adhere to: “Warriors for Congress will vet candidates, interview them, and ensure that they want to stop deficit spending; refuse to increase the weight of the government on our citizens; stand ready to protect American citizens and America’s security anywhere in the world; fight tax increases; refuse to vote for or enact any law that does not also apply to Congressional members; and understand explicitly that, if elected, they work for the citizens, not the other way around.”
Through its political action committee, Warriors for Congress will provide financial assistance to Jenerette’s campaign. Its web site, http://www.warriorsforcongress.com/
will publicize Jenerette’s candidacy and encourage Americans to volunteer in her support.
Katherine has a degree from Coastal Carolina University and holds a Master’s Degree from the University of South Carolina, Columbia. As a track and field and cross country athlete at CCU, Katherine received NCAA Big South Conference honors. For more information: http://www.jenerette.com

For almost 15 years, Morgan was co-host of the Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan show on KSFO 560 AM, San Francisco, the top morning show in the Bay Area. Morgan used her base at KSFO to launch the recall of Governor Gray Davis, which earned her the name “Mother of the Recall.”
Last year, Morgan was recruited for a syndicated radio show out of Washington D.C., at which she often made news while interviewing America’s most high-profile politicians and personalities. Morgan has traveled throughout the United States to campaign for conservative candidates for Congress and is a frequent guest on Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS. She also has appeared on the BBC and in newspapers and broadcasts worldwide.
Catherine Moy, Executive Director: Warriors for Congress Catherine Moy has spent the past 20 years as an award-winning journalist, a conservative political activist, a print media consultant, speech writer, politician and Executive Director of Move America Forward, the nation’s largest grassroots, protroop charity.
Moy won the Society of Professional Journalists’ highest award for public service, and managed news at a daily newspaper that broke some of the biggest news stories in the Bay Area.
