Ron Paul Endorsements from Elected Officials

why is the Judge not on the list; he is a former elected official, no different from Ventura
 
Endorsement by Maine State Representative Aaron Libby:

2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was endorsed today by Maine State Representative Aaron Libby (R-Waterboro). Representing the 139th District, Rep. Libby serves an area comprised of Waterboro and part of Lyman.

At a town hall event featuring Ron Paul in Alfred, Rep. Libby made his endorsement public before the crowd of Paul supporters.

“We need to change our cradle-to-grave government mentality. Cutting taxes is not enough. We must reduce the size and cost of our federal government. I am tired of the status quo, big-government politicians of both sides of the aisle. Ron Paul represents real cuts, real change, for a free and prosperous America. I am a Ron Paul Republican,” said Rep. Libby.

Currently in his first term, Rep. Libby was a delegate to the 2008 state Republican convention and coordinates Ron Paul campaign efforts for York County. One of 10 young apple farmers selected by the U.S. Apple Association for “Capitol Hill Day,” he attempted to meet several Representatives, but found only Dr. Paul to take genuine interest in his agricultural issues when the meeting occurred. That was the day Dr. Ron Paul inspired him to make his successful run for the Maine State Legislature.

Providing a strong conclusion to Ron Paul’s two-day Maine swing, such endorsements help present Ron Paul as the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney and flex the might of the only other campaign organization capable of maintaining a 50-state competition with the establishment candidate.

I will be keeping this list up to date.

California State Assemblyman Allan Mansoor endorsed Ron Paul in 2008 when he was Mayor of Costa Mesa. Hopefully he endorses again.

Also, Assemblyman Chris Norby is very libertarian leaning.
 
Fmr. RI State Rep. Rod Driver didn't formally come out and support Ron Paul, but he's been posting very Paul friendly press releases about how he can't believe people support Obama when the only person real about fixing our foreign policies and attacks on civil liberties is Ron Paul. He then tried to explain how to change over so you can vote in other party primaries.

Upon further research, he's donated $2,500 to the Paul campaign this election.

(Furthermore in 2008, a friend of mine who invited me to Driver's election party told me how he supported both Kucinich and Paul then as well.)

All we can do is e-mail them all....News media, senators, congressman, and anyone else you can think of. Ron Paul-2012 !!
 
So I ran the numbers and over 40 Percent of the US and state legislators who endorsed Ron Paul are New Hampshire legislators. 13% from Maine if you don't count State Representative Ryan Harmon's endorsement and 14% are from Maine if you do count his endorsement. Rep Harmon originally endorsed Ron Paul but then changed his mind and endorsed Mitt Romney. The highest ranking legislator to endorse Ron Paul was Senator Rand Paul. Out of the 5 early states of IA, NH, SC, FL and NV, 80% of the endorsements came from NH legislators.

I made a chart showing the relative strength of the endorses of Ron Paul by US and state legislators.

Each endorsement by 1 legislator is equal to the the following amount of points:
State Representative = 1 point
State Senator = 2 points
US Representative = 3 points
US Senator = 4 points

Ron Paul's 2012 Support by Elected Legislators

Red 11-36 points (NH)
Orange 7-10 points (ME, SC)
Orange 4-6 points (ID, IA, KY, NC)
Yellow 3 points (IL, WA, RI, MI, MN)
Light Green 2 points (NJ, SD, VT, PA)
Green 1 point (OK, WY, LA, MO)
White 0 points (MA, CT, NY, DE, MD, WV, VA, OH, IN, WI, TN, AR, MS, AL, GA, FL, ND, MT, OR, CA, NV, UT, AZ, CO, NM, TX, AK, HI)

A number of men on this list didn't actually support Dr. Paul, for instance Sen. Mike Folmer of PA endorsed Santorum - not Paul.

It looks like he endorsed Santorum 9/2011 and then endorsed Paul 4/2012.

Ron Paul to Be Endorsed By Pennsylvania State Senator Mike Folmer at Philadelphia Rally

Lebanon Senator inspired by Paul’s consistency and fealty to the Constitution to introduce Congressman on Independence Mall

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was endorsed today by Pennsylvania State Senator Mike Folmer (R-Lebanon). Representing the 48th District, Sen. Folmer serves an area encompassing all of Lebanon County and parts of Berks, Chester, Dauphin and Lancaster Counties.

Sen. Folmer issued the following statement ahead of the official announcement he will reiterate at a Ron Paul campaign event on the Independence Mall in Philadelphia. Details of the Sunday, April 22nd event follow the statement and bio below.

“Ron Paul is as consistent today as he was four years ago and as I know he will be four years from now. No matter who Ron Paul is meeting with, no matter where, and no matter what the issue, Ron Paul stays true to his beliefs – the same ones that led me to run for office. These are an unwavering respect for the Constitution, respect for the sanctity of life, a commitment to less government, and a furtherance of personal responsibility.”

“My ‘Promise to Pennsylvania’ and Ron Paul’s platform are very similar: legislative and political reform, tax and spending reform, and legal and labor law reform. These are issues I have been fighting for at the state level and I wholeheartedly endorse Ron Paul in his quest to return this country to the principles of our Founding Fathers. Ron Paul has not only read the Constitution, he believes in it and – most importantly – he will abide by it to ensure we are once again dedicated to its opening words, ‘We the People.’”

Sen. Folmer’s official bio follows.

Mike is a founding member of the Constitutional Organization of Liberty, a community-wide educational project designed to promote awareness of America’s founding principles.

In 1986, Mike pulled an upset victory to Lebanon City Council campaigning as a conservative Democrat (he would later follow Ronald Reagan’s example by re-registering as a Republican). As the Council’s Director of Public Safety, Mike fought local labor unions on excessive contract demands and introduced a plan to trim hundreds of thousands of dollars from the cash strapped community’s annual budget. Mike honored a term-limits pledge, retiring after just one term in office.

Two decades later, running on a “Promise to Pennsylvania,” a pledge to advance government reform, tort reform, the elimination of wasteful state spending, and lower taxes, Mike pulled another upset victory to win a seat in the Pennsylvania State Senate. He was reelected to a second term in 2010.

In his first term, Senator Folmer had five bills signed into law. He currently serves as Chairman of the Communications and Technology Committee and Vice Chair of the Education Committee. Other committee assignments include Inter-Governmental Operations; Labor and Industry; State Government; and Urban Affairs and Housing.

Mike and his wife, Shelia, reside in Lebanon City and are members of the Church of the Servant Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Palmyra where he teaches a children’s Sunday school. The Folmers have two grown children and seven grandchildren.

Details of the Philadelphia rally at which Sen. Folmer will introduce Ron Paul and affirm his Paul endorsement are as follows. Time is Eastern.

Sunday, April 22, 2012

2:30 p.m.*
Ron Paul Major Campaign Rally
Lawn at the Independence Mall Visitors Center
1 N Independence Mall West (b/t Market and Arch Streets)
Philadelphia, PA 19106

[*The rally start time is 1:00 p.m. and Dr. Paul will speak at 2:30 p.m.]

Providing a strong boost to Ron Paul’s Pennsylvania State organization, such endorsements present Ron Paul as the last remaining conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. They also demonstrate that the 12-term Congressman from Texas has a campaign organization capable of maintaining a 50-state competition with the moderate-establishment Romney.
