GREG ANDERS ENDORSES JOHN KOSTER FOR CONGRESS

February 16, 2012 - Greg Anders, a career fighter pilot and candidate for Congress who suspended his campaign in late January, formally announced his strong support and endorsement for John Koster at a breakfast event in Lynden on Saturday.

Both Koster and Anders expressed disappointment that the redistricting process had placed them in a situation where they would have to run against each other in a Republican primary. 

Anders, a Whatcom County resident and son of Apollo 8 Astronaut William Anders, challenged conservatives to "pull together" and support the Koster campaign with their time and treasure. Anders then presented a personal check to Koster to help "fight the money that is going to come out of the Democrat's liberal machine".

Speaking from his heart to the enthusiastic crowd, Anders said "John, I hope you get to plant that conservative flag on Capitol Hill for us".

Koster is the lone Republican in the race for Washington's newly drawn 1^st Congressional District. With the departures of Anders and James Watkins, Koster will no longer have to face a protracted and expensive primary campaign battle against fellow Republicans.

"I am humbled by the support and endorsement I have received from a high caliber individual like Greg Anders. My campaign will not be outworked and we intend to plant that conservative flag in Washington D.C. that Greg spoke of today. Republicans, Independents and conservative Democrats in the 1st district can unite behind my candidacy."
