Gov. Whitman Endorses Dole
Gov. Christine Todd Whitman endorsed Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole for president Monday, calling him the only candidate who has “the message, the stature and the experience to beat Bill Clinton in 1996.”
Dole said the endorsement sends a powerful message because Whitman stands for tax cuts, reducing government, lessening regulation of business and creating jobs.
Whitman, a social moderate, became the 18th of 30 sitting Republican governors to endorse the Kansas Republican. Whitman said she will actively campaign for Dole. Dole supporters say they expect most party activists in the state to follow her lead.
