Congressman Mo Brooks acquired his first endorsement from the Senate Tuesday from Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, according to an announcement from the Brooks campaign.

Paul expressed, “I’m happy to endorse my friend Mo Brooks today for the U.S. Senate. Mo has proven time and time again he will stand up for liberty and do what he thinks is right. He will join me in fighting to lower spending, cut the size and power of government, curtail foreign aid, and stop our endless wars overseas. Mo will stand for the Bill of Rights and against the entrenched bipartisan power and big spenders in the Senate just as he has done in the House.”

Brooks’ response highlighted their paralleled goals to defend liberty, freedom, and individual liberty as he replied, “I am honored by Senator Rand Paul’s endorsement and look forward to fighting with him in the U.S. Senate to limit and reverse exploding federal government growth; stop endless wars that cost too many American lives while depleting our treasury; promote and defend liberty, freedom and America’s foundational principles that have combined to make America the greatest nation in world history; and lower federal taxes so that American citizens can keep more of their hard-earned money so that they can better take care of themselves and their families.”

Endorsed by President Donald Trump, the Senate Conservatives Fund, Alabama Congressman Barry Moore, and many others, Brooks is positioning himself to replace six-term Senator Richard Shelby in Alabama’s race for U.S. Senate next year.
