Rep. Jeff Hoover: Rubio a strong conservative

On Saturday I’ll be voting in the Kentucky Republican presidential caucus. All Republicans should join together in voting for Marco Rubio.

Rubio has an unwavering record of support on pro-life issues. We must elect a president committed to the sanctity of life. We can’t accept a former pro-choice advocate like Donald Trump, who praises Planned Parenthood. Rubio is the candidate who can win in November and stop Hillary Clinton from reshaping our Supreme Court.

I deeply value Rubio’s plans to protect Kentucky gun owners. He understands the constitutional right to bear arms and to protect ourselves and our families is God-given. Rubio has pushed back on federal attempts to ban sporting rifles, and has fought federal attacks on gun manufacturers and dealers.

Throughout this campaign, Rubio has advanced a clear and consistent foreign-policy message. When America is strong, its citizens and allies are safe. Eight years of timid apologies have done tremendous damage to America’s standing in the world. When we elect Rubio president, the world will know we have a president who will lead with decisive action, not reckless words.
