Earlier today at a press conference in the state capitol conservative State Senator Dick Kelsey, former 4th District Congressional candidate, formally endorsed businessman and military veteran Mike Pompeo.

"I will personally work for Mike's victory in the August 3rd primary. I will urge all Republicans to rally around whoever is the victor on August 3rd. Republicans have the opportunity to retake the House of Representatives. To do so, it will be very important that Republicans retain the 4th District Congressional seat in Kansas," Senator Kelsey said.

"As a State Senator, Dick built a solid conservative reputation fighting for the Kansas family and free market principals. His tireless efforts defending the sanctity of all human life and the traditional family have been a model for all elected officials," Pompeo said. I am exceptionally proud and honored to have Dick on my team to bring those values to the United States Congress."

"In a campaign, you always learn from others and take courage from the strength and depth of their commitment to our country - Senator Kelsey has done that for me and I will be a better Congressman for it," Pompeo said.
