[h=6]- JULY 07, 2016 -[/h][h=1]U.S. REPRESENTATIVE FARENTHOLD ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT[/h]Congressman Blake Farenthold (R-TX-27) today formally endorsed presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee Donald J. Trump.
Although originally a supporter of fellow Texan, Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Farenthold says the time for contentious debate has passed and it is now time for the Republican Party to unify around its duly elected nominee.
“I think we're going to see some conservative motion in the country,” said Farenthold on MSNBC in May. “The thing I'm really most excited about is Donald Trump is a deal maker. I spent my six years in Congress with a ‘my way or the highway’ president. I want a dealmaker who will come in and will get some stuff done and I think that's what the American people want. They're tired of gridlock in Washington.”
Farenthold said he believes Donald Trump should not stop talking about the scandals that have plagued the campaign of presumptive Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton.
“Given the choice between Mr. Trump and Secretary Clinton, this is a no-brainer. I don’t want someone in the oval office that is ‘extremely careless,’” Farenthold said.
Farenthold took office in 2010 during the “Tea Party” wave that saw the Republican Party take over the leadership of the House of Representatives. He defeated 28-year incumbent Solomon Ortiz in a predominately Hispanic congressional district. He has been re-elected in 2012 and 2014 by a 52% and 56% majority respectively.
Farenthold serves on the Transportation Committee, Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and the Committee on the Judiciary.

[h=6]- JULY 07, 2016 -[/h][h=1]CONGRESSMAN CARTER ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES[/h]Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today formally endorsing Donald J. Trump for President of the United States:
"The American people are frustrated with Washington, just as I have been since the first day I arrived here. Led by President Obama and democrats, the past eight years have been nothing short of a disaster. The threats from radical Islamic terrorism are increasing every day, the health care system I worked in for more than thirty years has been destroyed by Obamacare, and America's job creators are constantly under attack. America needs a president who will get our nation back on track and I believe Donald J. Trump is the man to make this happen.
"As we saw with her disastrous response to Benghazi and never-ending lies to the American people, Hillary Clinton is not fit to lead or protect Americans. The stakes are higher than ever and republicans must come together as a united front to win in November. I am proud to endorse Donald Trump today and I urge all Americans to join me. The future of our nation depends on it."

Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded- is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.
We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.
The senseless, tragic deaths of two people in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done.
This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.
Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children.
This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies.

City of Eugene OR asks Trump for reimbursement

What do you think the odds are? The city of Eugene is asking the Trump campaign to reimburse expenses for security during his visit in May:
registerguard.com/...
The city of Eugene is seeking $92,300 in reimbursements from the Donald Trump campaign after his rally at the Lane Events Center racked up quite the bill. Eugene Police Chief Pete Kerns said overtime compensation for officers added up to $78,000. There was also about $6,800 in overtime costs for Eugene Springfield Fire and $3,000 in other overtime expenses for city employees, he said.
Additionally, materials and supplies, including meals and other expenses for more than 170 police officers and others assigned to the event, cost the city about $4,500, Kerns said. Trump’s rally on May 6 was most likely the most costly campaign visit for which Eugene police have provided security, Kerns said in a statement issued late Wednesday afternoon.
.. While the city of Eugene waits to hear whether it will be reimbursed by Trump’s campaign, the incurred expenses will be paid with savings from job vacancies within the police department, according to Kerns.
My guess is that they’ll be waiting a looooong time!

[h=6]- JULY 11, 2016 -[/h][h=1]TRUMP CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF COMMUNICATIONS TEAM[/h]Today, the Trump Campaign is pleased to announce the expansion of the communications team. These additions look to further educate voters on Hillary’s liberal track record of deception, and effectively communicate the campaign’s message – that Mr. Trump is the only candidate who will Make America Great Again.
The campaign has enlisted the services of Bryan Lanza, who will serve as the Deputy Communications Director for Surrogates. Mr. Lanza’s focus will be on organizing and mobilizing Trump supporters in an effective way that allows Mr. Trump’s America First message to resonate with voters. Mr. Lanza has served as a Chief of Staff for members of the California State Assembly and Senate. Most recently, Mr. Lanza served as Communications Director of the non-profit Citizens United.
Mr. Lanza will be the campaign’s point of contact for campaign surrogates, and the media should contact him directly with any requests. His email is blanza@donaldtrump.com.
The campaign has also brought aboard Steven Cheung, who will serve as the campaign's Director of Rapid Response. Mr. Cheung’s focus will be on keeping the campaign up to date on breaking news and pushing back on false or unbalanced reporting. Cheung has worked in communications on several Senate and gubernatorial campaigns, as well as the 2008 McCain-Palin presidential campaign. Mr. Cheung most recently served as the Director of Communications and Public Affairs for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
These additions to the campaign will be critical to spreading Mr. Trump’s message and defeating Hillary Clinton in November. The Trump Campaign will continue to build out the communications team as we head toward November 8th.
