WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), chairman of the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), announced the endorsement of Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams for U.S. Senate in Texas. Williams is running to replace Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) who recently announced plans to resign sometime next year.

"Michael Williams is the Democrat Party's worst nightmare. He's a principled, outspoken conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts and takeovers that have destroyed millions of jobs and piled a mountain of debt on our children and grandchildren," said Senator DeMint. "Michael Williams has a compelling life story, a proven conservative record and an energetic grassroots following that make him one of the most exciting Senate candidates in the nation."

"It is an honor to receive the endorsement of a fellow committed, courageous conservative like Senator Jim DeMint," said Commissioner Williams. "Senator DeMint and I are kindred spirits. We seek to bring bold conservative leadership to Washington. We believe in the principles of limited government, strong national defense and traditional family values. I look forward to the day, very soon, when we have the opportunity to work side by side to maximize freedom, security and prosperity through proven conservative principles. We are going to be a great team."

DeMint Announces 4 Endorsements for the Conservatives Fund

Michael Williams is the fourth candidate to be endorsed by the Senate Conservatives Fund in a 2010 Republican primary. SCF has also endorsed former Congressman Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, former State Speaker of the House Marco Rubio in Florida and Assemblyman Chuck DeVore in California.

"Americans are tired of apologizing for their principles, and they're looking for some new Republicans who will stand up for mainstream American values," said Senator DeMint. "That's why we're helping a strong group of viable conservative candidates in races across the country, including Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Chuck DeVore and now Michael Williams. These are leaders who deeply believe in constitutional limits, a balanced budget, and individual liberty. These are not radical ideas - they're the principles that have made our country the envy of the world, and we desperately need leaders in the Senate who will fight to defend them."
