Former candidate for the Republican nomination in the Seventh Congressional District, Dave Robinson, announced today that he is endorsing Nick Reid’s candidacy.

“If we are going to get the job done and finally bring real representation to the Seventh District, we have to do it as a team with one voice united behind the candidate that has the best opportunity to succeed,” said Robinson. “I believe that Nick Reid is that candidate, and that is why today I am giving my full endorsement to his campaign for the Seventh Congressional Seat.”

Robinson who had been in the race for more than a year, made his announcement to step aside from the campaign Saturday, April 22nd at the Polk County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner in Dresser.

“Dave ran a strong campaign, and I know how difficult a decision this was for him and his family,” added Reid. “I especially want to thank Dave for his service to our country in the United States Navy. As a veteran and small business owner, Dave brought an important voice to the campaign. I am humbled by his endorsement, and I pledge that I will continue to work tirelessly to push forward our shared vision for a better tomorrow here in the Seventh District.”
