Says Hallman’s Record of Fiscal
Responsibility is Ideal for Office
PHOENIX, Arizona (June
19, 2014) — Congressman Matt Salmon, one of Arizona’s leading conservative
voices, has endorsed Hugh Hallman for Arizona State Treasurer.
The East Valley
congressman has worked closely with Hallman over the years on regional issues.
Congressman Salmon said his first-hand knowledge of Hallman’s experience and
expertise made Hallman a clear choice for the State Treasurer’s race.
“Getting our state's
financial house in order must be a top priority for all members of our state’s
executive branch,” Congressman Salmon said. “With our state’s debt approaching
$9 billion, it is critical that we make serious and immediate changes to how
Arizona spends our money. Hugh Hallman understands this crucial issue based on
his years of experience in the private sector and his long service as Tempe’s
fiscally conservative Mayor. Hugh cut Tempe’s budget while improving services.
We can trust Hugh Hallman to serve us well as Arizona’s next State
Treasurer.”
Congressman Salmon
joins more than 80 conservative leaders who have praised Hallman’s combination
of experience and expertise as the ideal mix for the office of State Treasurer.
