Club for Growth Endorses Bryngelson

House District 97 candidate Jordan Bryngelson's campaign has announced a key endorsement from South Carolina Club for Growth, a conservative group that uses PAC money to support state house and senate candidates.

In the 2010 election cycle, eight out of 10 primary candidates endorsed by the organization won their primary election race, according to South Carolina Club for Growth.

Bryngelson faces competition from fellow candidate Ed Carter for the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Rep. Patsy Knight.

"For too long candidates and incumbents have claimed to be fiscal conservatives while on the campaign trail but then take on a tax and spend mentality when in Columbia," South Carolina Club for Growth PAC Chairman Dave Ellison said in a statement.

According to the organization, South Carolina Club for Growth PAC is a network of fiscal conservatives dedicated to expanding the prosperity of working families through the Reagan doctrine of lower taxes, smaller government and strong free enterprise. Its PAC’s efforts are funded through the contributions of hundreds of South Carolinians from around the state who are fed up with politicians saying one thing at home and doing another once in Columbia.
