Craig endorses Malek

| March 31, 2018 1:00 AM

Former U.S. Sen. Larry Craig has endorsed Luke Malek, a three-term Idaho State Representative, for Congress in Idaho’s First Congressional District. As a past chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, Craig said Luke Malek’s unwavering support of veterans was a major factor in securing his endorsement in the District 1 congressional race.

“In Idaho’s 2018 primary, we have a crowded field in the race for Congress, but for me there’s only one clear choice: Conservative Republican Luke Malek,” said Craig. “This race is about more than representing Idaho today. It’s about Idaho’s future role in Congress. The only choice is Luke. He’s conservative, has a proven track record of working for the people of Idaho and for getting things done. Luke is Idaho’s future and he has the longevity it will take to serve in Congress for Idaho and make real change.”

Craig served 18 years in the U.S. Senate and 10 years in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I know Luke will be the most effective advocate for Idaho, and that no one will work harder for our great state than he will,” Craig said.
