Torrey Westrom, the Republican nominee for Minnesota's 7th Congressional District, today announced the endorsement of former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton.
"I am honored to have Ambassador Bolton's endorsement and I share his commitment to strengthening America's national security," Westrom said in a statement. "Now, more than ever, it is critical that we maintain a strong national defense and sophisticated military in the face of growing international threats from groups like ISIS. When in Congress, I will fight tirelessly on behalf of western Minnesota for strong national defense and American leadership abroad."
In his endorsing statement, Ambassador Bolton said, "Torrey has fought for what's right his whole life and I am confident he will take this commitment to Washington, and lead on conservative policies that impact Minnesota, America, and our concerns overseas."
Ambassador Bolton served as the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations from 2005-2006, and served as the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security from 2001-2005
