In response, Patterson said, “I am honored to have Spence’s endorsement, and I admire him for his willingness to take a stand on the issues and fight for what he believes. We see eye to eye on a great many things, and it is encouraging to see patriots like Col. Campbell backing me in this campaign. With the leadership of folks like Spence Campbell, I believe we’ll be able to win this election and start bringing sound decision making to the halls of Congress.”
