“Our country is in a difficult spot right now,” said Huckabee. “If Republicans were not already awake, the Obamacare vote on Sunday woke them up. We must to do everything we can. We must send our best to Washington if we want to turn things around.”
“That is why I am endorsing Doug Matayo. I saw his work in the Arkansas House. He knows how to win even when Republicans are outnumbered. He fought to reduce the size of Arkansas government, has never supported a tax increase and he is kept on the right track because of his strong conservative Christian values. He is exceptional, and that is why I have made the exceptional decision to endorse someone in this election.”
‘These are tough times and tough times call for someone like Doug Matayo,” said Huckabee. “Doug is not just a placeholder. He will embrace the battle for all we cherish and not run from it. We need courageous patriots like Doug in Congress.”
Doug Matayo is a conservative Republican and small businessman. In his two terms in the Arkansas House, Matayo was known for opposing all tax increases and for authoring and passing Arkansas’ legislation to prevent illegal immigrants from getting state driver’s licenses. Matayo pushed against the Democrat majority in order to streamline government, reduce the size and cost of state agencies and protect the unborn.
“I travel the country and see many up and coming leaders,” said Huckabee. “That is why it is such a pleasant surprise to come home to Arkansas and see Doug Matayo running for Congress. He is one of the best conservative leaders I have seen anywhere in America. He never compromises his values. He doesn’t take no for an answer. He’s a businessman, not a politician. We need more people like Doug Matayo in Congress. I am excited to see him go to work there. He is the kind of man who will go to Congress not just to cast votes but to be a huge force for good.”
Matayo said, “I am honored to have the support of Arkansas’ greatest Republican. Mike Huckabee fought the Democrat machine in Arkansas and his leadership as Governor was courageous and always true to the values we hold deepest. As a Presidential candidate and a national figure Governor Huckabee brings a refreshing message to the national dialogue that proves simple common sense and core values would go a long ways in making our government better. I am humbled to have his support and trust.”
