General Wes Clark Endorses Lukin Gilliland
October 27, 2006. Little Rock, AR. General Wes Clark today endorses the candidacy of Lukin Gilliland for Congress in Texas's 23rd Congressional District.
General Clark said, "Today American families face many difficult challenges at home and abroad. There has never been a time when foreign affairs were as closely linked to the daily lives of Texans as they are now. We are fighting the causes of terrorism that threaten our homes and we must prepare for a changing global economy that demands that America train our people to compete for the highest paying jobs.
"Texas is home to thousands of military families who deserve a partner in Washington who respects their daily challenges and sacrifices. That partner will be Lukin Gilliland whose common sense, businesslike approach to pubic service is needed to resist a reckless, free-spending Congress up in Washington. I am pleased to endorse him today.
"With a strong perspective as a native Texan, a successful businessman, and rancher, Lukin upholds strong moral convictions and American values that are much needed in today's government. Lukin Gilliland will represent Texas's 23rd District by standing up for small businesses, good government, and working families.
"In voting for Lukin Gilliland, Texans have an opportunity to turn things around now before it's too late. To change politics-as-usual, we have to vote for someone besides the usual politicians."
