Bauer throws support to Barrett

[ccharles000]

Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer has endorsed U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett in the Republican gubernatorial runoff on June 22.

Barrett is facing Lexington state Rep. Nikki Haley.

In a statement, Bauer said Barrett was the only candidate he could trust.

“I hope the media and the voters take these next two weeks to really look at the candidates: their real records – not just their rhetoric,” Bauer said. “When they do they will find Gresham Barrett has been a committed conservative soldier in the movement against big government long before it was politically advantageous.
