Club For Growth Endorses Ekstrom for Congress

Congressional hopeful Chris Ekstrom picked up another endorsement from a high-profile conservative organization on Monday.

Club For Growth announced on social media Monday that it is endorsing Ekstrom to replace U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry. Ekstrom, one of 15 Republicans running to replace the retiring Thornberry, can count this as yet another endorsement from a high profile conservative group after Texas Right to Life endorsed his campaign last week.

“As a successful entrepreneur who believes in free trade and fiscal conservatism, Ekstrom understands the policies that grow jobs and the economy for Texas families,” Club For Growth wrote in its endorsement of Ekstrom.

Congressional contenders Vance Snider, Elaine Hays, and Josh Winegarner have also announced endorsements from political action committees and groups in recent weeks in hopes of replacing Thornberry.

Voters will decide this primary on March 3.
