Update: In related news, the Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed Singh today.
“We believe that Amit Singh is the best candidate in the race, and he deserves the Republican nomination to face off against the incumbent in November,” said Cliff Dunn, treasurer of the RLC-Virginia. “We encourage other Republican groups to offer their support to Mr. Singh’s campaign.”
The Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) is a grassroots, nationwide organization affiliated with the Republican Party (GOP). The goal of the RLC is to elect pro-liberty individuals to office. The RLC was founded in 1990, and now has members in every state. The Republican Liberty Caucus supports individual rights, limited government and free enterprise.
“Amit Singh demonstrates a clear commitment to core Republican principles,” said Dunn. “As a native-born Virginian, he understands the needs of the Commonwealth and of his constituents in Arlington County, Alexandria, Fairfax County, and Falls Church. He is without a doubt the best choice for 8th District voters in this year’s election.”
