Koolidge for Congress has issued the following press release:

Mike Koolidge announced that Illinois Trump Campaign Co-Chairman and Congressman Darin LaHood officially endorsed his campaign for Congress in Illinois' 14th District. Congressman LaHood released the following statement supporting Koolidge:

"I've known Mike Koolidge for many years as a frequent guest on his conservative radio show and he has my complete endorsement.

He has been a long-time friend, supporter of Republicans, and champion of conservatives across Illinois. I know he is strong on securing our border and he will fight against the Biden administration's disastrous economic policies that have led to record inflation.

Mike is an unapologetic America First Republican and was a strong supporter of President Trump when I was the Illinois Trump Campaign Co-Chairman. He is pro-life and pro-Second Amendment, and he's our best chance to take this seat back in November.

Mike Koolidge will make voters in Illinois' 14th Congressional District proud in Congress."

From his time as radio host to now as candidate for Congress, Koolidge has been and is the only true conservative voice for the America First agenda and residents in the 14th District.

“While President Biden and the Democrat-controlled Congress have led us to record inflation, unaffordable grocery, gas, and energy prices, and made our country less safe, Congressman LaHood has been one of the few leaders who has been standing up and fighting back for our Republican values. I’m ready to join him in Congress and get to work reducing inflation, securing the border, and fighting for American freedom. With just a week until Election Day, it’s an honor to have the support and endorsement of Congressman LaHood,” Koolidge said.
