November 19, 2009
CUPERTINO – Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for Governor, announced Nov. 19 the endorsement of former Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke. He served as Lieutenant Governor of California under Ronald Reagan from 1969 to 1974.
"I am honored to have the support of Ed Reinecke who shares my deep concern for our state,'' Whitman said. "Having served with one of the great leaders of our time, Ed recognizes the need for new leadership in California and agrees we should focus on job creation, economic growth and limiting government spending.”
"Meg Whitman is a proven fiscal conservative who can lead California back to prosperity,” said Reinecke. “She embodies the values of Ronald Reagan. She is a staunch supporter of small businesses. Her commitment to lower taxes and a smaller government makes Meg the right person to lead this state and restore our economy.”
Reinecke served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1965 to 1969 and as Chairman of the California Republican Party from 1983 to 1985.
