FRANKLIN, Tenn. – FRC Action PAC, the legislative affiliate of the Family Research Council, endorsed Dr. Mark Green’s campaign for Congress today. The leading pro-family advocacy group in Washington, D.C., FRC Action has many members and supporters in Tennessee.

In announcing the endorsement, FRC Action PAC Executive Vice President, Lt. General (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, said, “These formidable times require bold leaders of unwavering conviction. From speaking with Mark Green, consulting with those who know him, and observing his professional record in the Tennessee Senate, we believe he will be just such a leader in the United States Congress.”

FRC Action, the nation’s leading social conservative advocacy group, joins the Club for Growth, the leading fiscal conservative advocacy group, in endorsing Dr. Green’s campaign for Congress.

“FRC Action PAC is confident that if elected, Mark Green will continue to advocate for limited government and strong family values. We are pleased to join other notable organizations and individuals in offering our endorsement, and encourage those who care about the future of our nation and our freedoms to do so as well,” continued Boykin.

Since entering the race for Congress, Dr. Green has coalesced support from Republicans both in Tennessee and nationally. The campaign recently appointed prominent Williamson County Republican leader Doug Grindstaff as its treasurer and announced the endorsement of former Sen. Rick Santorum, who won the 2012 Tennessee Republican presidential primary. 

“The Family Research Council and FRC Action have boldly led the fight for faith, family, and freedom in our nation’s capital for over 30 years. I’m proud to receive their endorsement, and look forward to working with them to advance our values in Congress,” noted Green.
