Charlotte – Bob Palisin, a retired Presbyterian minister from Cabarrus County, announced today that he will not file for Congress, and instead will work to elect Charlotte businessman Hal Jordan to that office.
Palisin, who has campaigned for Congress since Fall 2009, stated that Jordan was, “the Republicans’ best candidate to win the hotly contested 8th congressional district back from the Democrats.” Further, Palisin stated, “Hal Jordan’s conservative views align most closely with my own. Hal will fight for the best interest of the people of the District. After seeing Hal in action on the campaign trail, it became apparent to me that he is the right leader for the job.”
Jordan expressed his appreciation to Palisin for his support. “Bob Palisin is a true conservative and a leader who distinguished himself as an able candidate and messenger for our Party through the past several months,” Jordan remarked. “I welcome Bob’s support and believe that the momentum we are generating will continue to grow.”
