Today, NATIONAL DEFENSE PAC announced their endorsement of  Roger Roth for election to the U. S. Congress from the 8^th Congressional District of  Wisconsin.  NATIONAL DEFENSE PAC Chairman, Rear Admiral [Ret.] James J. Carey stated, “Roger Roth has NATIONAL DEFENSE PAC’s full support for election to the U.S. Congress.  He served our country in the Air National Guard, putting himself on the line to defend our nation when called, and is committed to keeping the promises made to our veterans when they agreed to risk their lives to face America’s enemies.  Roger is who we want in Congress making decisions that impact our military veterans and today’s young Americans serving in our Armed Forces.  He, as an Iraq veteran, understands what it takes to train, fight and win.  He also understands the importance of ensuring the decision to commit our military is right before we send our Nation’s most precious asset, our sons and daughters, into harm’s way.”

Roger is a former member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard with four tours to the Middle East during his career.   He was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2006 and won the Republican Primary with 60% of the vote.  He was re-elected in 2008 and is now serving out his second term.  Roger is the ranking member on the Housing Committee, and member of the Assembly Insurance Committee, Law Revision Committee, Elections and Campaign Reform, Special Committee on High Risk Juveniles, and Task Force for preventing home foreclosures.

Admiral Carey stated, “The 8^th Congressional District of Wisconsin is home to many military veterans and an equally significant number of men and women, both active duty, guard & reserve, serving in the military today.  They need Roger representing them in Congress.  NATIONAL DEFENSE PAC intends to do all it can to help make that happen”.

Colonel (Ret.) Craig Carlson, National Defense PAC Executive Director, stated, “NATIONAL DEFENSE PAC has earned a reputation for endorsing winning candidates because we back men and women that have proven integrity forged in patriotic selfless military service.  The American people trust our military and vote for our candidates.  Our goal in 2010 is to endorse as many candidates that can meet our standard, and elect them all.”
