Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today formally endorsing Donald J. Trump for President of the United States:

"The American people are frustrated with Washington, just as I have been since the first day I arrived here. Led by President Obama and democrats, the past eight years have been nothing short of a disaster. The threats from radical Islamic terrorism are increasing every day, the health care system I worked in for more than thirty years has been destroyed by Obamacare, and America's job creators are constantly under attack. America needs a president who will get our nation back on track and I believe Donald J. Trump is the man to make this happen.

"As we saw with her disastrous response to Benghazi and never-ending lies to the American people, Hillary Clinton is not fit to lead or protect Americans. The stakes are higher than ever and republicans must come together as a united front to win in November. I am proud to endorse Donald Trump today and I urge all Americans to join me. The future of our nation depends on it."
