ARIZONA: The return of Matt Salmon

From Eric Dondero:

Members of the Republican Liberty Caucus who have been around a few years will remember Matt Salmom. He was on the RLC advisory board back in the 1990s. He was elected to Congress with the Contract with America class of '94. He was always welcoming of RLC members visiting Capitol Hill in the 1990s, to lobby on such issues as absolishing Selective Service, and reducing and eliminating federal programs. A staunch advocate of Term Limits he pledged to serve 3 terms and then not run for reelection. He lived up to his word.

Now with Jeff Flake stepping up for a Senate run, Salmon plans to run for his seat.

From IntellectualConservativeArizona:

EAST VALLEY – Former Congressman Matt Salmon announced his bid today to return to Congress to represent the same area he served nearly a decade ago. Salmon was first elected to the United States Congress in 1994 and served until 2000, honoring his term limit pledge. A proud fiscal conservative, Salmon was rated in the top five among all 535 members of the House and Senate by Citizen’s Against Government Waste for all six years he was in office.

"I want to return to Congress because I believe that, now more than ever, the East Valley needs experienced leadership who will represent our interests in Washington," said Salmon, "Over the past few years, we have watched as our taxpayer dollars have grown government and bailed out Wall Street."

Salmon was named a "Watchdog of the Treasury" all six years he was in office. He also earned the "Taxpayer Hero Award" from the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.

"We must reform our entitlement state, revamp our tax code to conform to today’s economy and live within our means," said Salmon.
