Mary
Eisenhower, Granddaughter of Last Political Outsider to Become
President of the United States, Announces Her Support For Carly Fiorina
Eisenhower cites
Carly’s knowledge of international affairs and executive experience as
reasons for her support
Alexandria, VA –
Today,
Mary
Eisenhower
joins
the growing list of supporters across the
United States to endorse Carly Fiorina as she runs for president. Mary
Eisenhower is the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a
decorated war hero who had never held elective office before he was
sworn in as President of the United States in 1953.
Mary
currently serves as Chairman Emeritus of People to People
International. Continuing her grandfather’s legacy, she acted as the
Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit organization for thirteen
years, from 2000 to 2013. Under Mary’s leadership, People to People
International helped enhance international understanding and friendship
through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities.
Mary Eisenhower:
“As
the granddaughter of the last political outsider to serve as President,
I am certain Carly Fiorina’s dynamic background and record of results
will bring much-needed leadership to the White House. As an innovator
and business leader with a strong, moral clarity, her experiences make
her uniquely suited to help America lead the global economy.
"Voters
should not overlook Carly Fiorina’s invaluable experience within the
non-profit realm. Her leadership with charities like Opportunity
International and Good360 has helped radically change lives around the
world by bringing 21st century solutions to perennial problems like
poverty, disaster relief and need. America should have a leader that is
familiar with all the tools that are available to fix problems. Like my
grandfather, Carly is not afraid to disrupt the status quo and get
things done to make this country a global leader once again.”
Mary
joins a growing group of Americans nationwide who have been moved to
support Carly’s candidacy because of her willingness to challenge the
professional political class and take on the status quo. They will help
build a grassroots network of support across the country and
communicate why Carly’s impressive background is what we need in the
next President of the United States.
