Washington, DC – Today the Republican Main Street Partnership (RMSP) PAC announced its endorsement of Representative Rob Simmons for his third re-election bid.  Simmons joined Republican Main Street Partnership during his freshman year in Congress.

 “Rob Simmons is an effective legislator for his Connecticut constituents, and a consistent leader for fiscal responsibility in Congress,” said RMSP Executive Director Sarah Chamberlain Resnick.  “He has tackled specific Connecticut challenges on economic development and transportation, and his military background provides valuable insight as America fights the War on Terror. His ability to work closely with both Republicans and Democrats to fight for the needs of his constituents makes him an effective representative of the people of Connecticut's Second District.  The RMSP PAC is proud to endorse his candidacy.”

 A committed Main Street member, he has fought for issues that are important to the American people and the residents of Connecticut’s second district, including Medicare, veterans’ benefits and tax relief. In Congress, Simmons sits on the House Armed Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Veterans' Affairs committees.

 Prior to his election to Congress in 2000, Simmons served in the Connecticut General Assembly. He has also served in the U.S. Army and worked as a CIA Operations Officer for a decade, including five years on assignment overseas in East Asia. 

 The Republican Main Street Partnership PAC is a registered political action committee that supports Republican candidates who are fiscally conservative and take a pragmatic, common-sense approach to social issues. For more information on the PAC and our candidates, visit www.mainstreetpac.com.
