Fiorina lands first congressional endorsement from leading GOP congresswoman
Washungton Examiner ^ | 9/21/2015 | Gabby Morrongiello

Posted on 09/21/2015 10:32:10 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Rising Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina received her first endorsement from a sitting member of Congress, just days after a strong debate performance that catapulted her to second place in the Washington Examiner's power rankings. Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., announced Sunday that she is backing the female GOP hopeful's presidential bid and will serve as Fiorina's co-chair in Kansas throughout the primary election cycle. In a statement to the Topeka Capital-Journal, Jenkins described the former secretary-turned-CEO as "proof that the American dream still exists." "Starting as a secretary and fighting her way to the very top, it is clear this is not a woman who was handed things; she had to fight for every bit of success she has achieved," Jenkins reportedly said. "As a CPA who practiced public accounting for nearly 20 years before coming to Congress, I recognize when a system is as badly broken as Washington is, it is best to look to the outside for a new direction," she added. "Carly Fiorina is exactly the strong, steady, no nonsense businesswoman that our nation so desperately needs."

If a male had Fiorina’s record, nobody would consider her for a moment.

Agreed. But sex organs are an important qualifier for public office, second only to race. Everything else is way down on the list.

“she had to fight for every bit of success she has achieved.”


What success? Didn’t Hewlett Packard nearly go under during her “leadership?”

I wonder who writes these statements for these public figures. And do these politicians ever read what is written for them?

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins offered encouragement to conservatives at a town hall forum that the Republican Party would embrace a “great white hope” capable of thwarting the political agenda endorsed by Democrats who control Congress and President Barack Obama.

In response to inquiries by The Topeka Capital-Journal, a Jenkins spokeswoman said Wednesday the congresswoman wanted to apologize for her word choice and to emphasize she had no intention of expressing herself in an offensive manner

Rising Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina...

Did I miss something?

She’s no nonsense alright. Wastes NO time running companies into the ground, lying about revenues, and taking off with 30 mil.

She's my rep: a complete Boehner lackey. My state senator tried to run against her but had no money.
