John Bolton endorses Fran Becker in NY-4

Former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton has endorsed Republican Fran Becker for Congress in the 4th district of New York. Bolton especially likes Becker's positions on Israel.

John Bolton, former Ambassador to the United Nations, endorsed Fran Becker’s candidacy for U.S. Congress earlier this week. Ambassador Bolton spoke about the importance of Foreign Policy and National Security for the upcoming election. He said, “It is particularly important that, as we look to who’s going to be in the next congress, we have Foreign Policy and National Security in mind.” Ambassador Bolton continued, “I’m really happy to be here to lend Fran a hand.

I think he is clearly a friend of Israel, not just a rhetorical friendship, not just a politician who says ‘the unbreakable ties between the United States and Israel’ but somebody who understands that you have to make that support concrete, it’s not just rhetorical support that is necessary.”

Fran Becker is the Republican candidate for New York’s 4th Congressional District. He is running against incumbent Carolyn McCarthy (D-Garden City), who has held the seat for 14 years. Fran is a business owner, an employer, and a certified financial planner. Fran has the background, experience and qualifications to get the job done in Congress.

On Tuesday, Bolton will be in Los Angeles to do two fundraisers for Mattie Fein, the Republican candidate in the 36th Congressional district.
