GOPAC joins call for Republican presidential candidates to support restoring balance of power.
Arlington, Va. (March 9, 2016) – Today,
GOPAC
announced
it
is
joining efforts by Republican state lawmakers to
secure commitments from the leading Republican presidential candidates,
Mr. Donald Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio and Governor
John Kasich, to restore the balance of power between the states and the
federal government.
Ohio Senate President Keith Faber is leading 64 state lawmakers to win support from the presidential candidates for five proposals:
“The Founding Fathers did not write the Constitution with the intentions of making state governments junior partners. This is why we are seeking our Republican presidential candidates to affirm their belief in the balance of power. While we each have a favorite candidate, it has been a joy to work with a group of talented and dedicated of state leaders from around the country to ensure state based solutions are discussed to address the most pressing challenges our communities face,” stated Senate President Faber.
ABOUT GOPAC: GOPAC is the Republican Party’s premier center for educating and electing a new generation of Republican leaders. It’s a force in American politics as it ensures a healthy roster of prepared and tested state leaders are ready to lead in their legislatures and/or run for higher office.

“The
federal government has inundated America with rules and regulations
including their demands on state governments. As our presidential
candidates promote their views on the proper role of government, it
would benefit them to make clear how they would restore the balance of
power between the states and the federal government as established in
our country’s founding documents,” said GOPAC Chairman David Avella.
