Ron and Rand Paul endorse Mark Sanford for Congress

Sen. Rand Paul endorses Mark Sanford for Congress - Catalina Camia, USA Today:

April 30, 2013 - "GOP congressional candidate Mark Sanford was formally endorsed Tuesday by Sen. Rand Paul, a Tea Party favorite whose support could help in the final days of the special election for South Carolina's 1st District seat. The senator's father, former Texas congressman Ron Paul, threw his support behind Sanford last week.

"'More than anything, Washington needs strong and consistent voices for fiscal responsibility and liberty,' the younger Paul said in a statement. 'Mark has proven during his time in office that watching out for taxpayers and holding the line on spending are his top priorities.'

"Sanford, a former South Carolina governor, faces Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch in a May 7 election for his old House seat. Once the favorite in the race, Sanford has had to deal with renewed attention on his 2009 extramarital affair and the loss of support from the House GOP campaign committee."
