WASHINGTON, Oct 15, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Political Action Committee (CCAGW PAC) today announced its endorsement of former Governor Jim Gilmore for election to the U.S. Senate from Virginia. "Jim Gilmore has served the citizens of Virginia with distinction and has an outstanding record of fiscal discipline and fighting on behalf of all taxpayers," CCAGW PAC Chairman Tom Schatz said. "We are confident that his strong leadership abilities and longstanding fiscal conservative values will continue to guide his agenda as he seeks to represent Virginia in the Senate." "Jim Gilmore has proved he is a champion of taxpayers. When he was attorney general, he investigated Medicaid fraud, saving taxpayers millions of dollars. As governor, he cut taxes and reduced spending, saving Virginian taxpayers $1.5 billion. He has always understood the importance of the Internet to Virginia's and the nation's economy and led the fight against taxing the Internet. Now, more than ever, Virginia needs taxpayer heroes like Jim Gilmore in the Senate," declared Schatz. "Throughout his career, Jim Gilmore has proven to be a fiscally conservative leader. As a U.S. senator, he will ease the burden of a cumbersome, bloated federal government. He has the ability to improve the future economic outlook by continuing his long career in fighting to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse on behalf of all Virginians," concluded Schatz. CCAGW PAC is affiliated with the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, a 501(c)(4) organization. CCAGW PAC's mission is to support political candidates who will fight to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government and represent the best interests of taxpayers.
