Here is the part of the Club for Growth's press release about 8th congressional district Republican candidate David McSweeney:

WASHINGTON, DC - The political action arm of the influential and well-funded Club for Growth, with 9 wins and only 4 losses this election cycle, today endorsed four candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives: Rep. Steve Chabot (OH-01); Ralph Norman (SC-05); David McSweeney (IL-08); and Michelle Bachmann (MN-06).

"This week, the Democrats told us what they will do if they win the majority: pass big job-killing tax hikes. It was frightening but not surprising to hear Rep. Rangel say this, but it does underscore what is at stake. The House is up for grabs, and we need to make sure we're doing all we can to help elect men and women who want to cut taxes and grow the economy. These four candidates have superb records and will vote to keep our economy strong and job creation going," said Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth.

David McSweeney, IL-08:

"While Rep. Bean sometimes talks a good game on cutting waste in government, she voted against a budget this year which did just that. In contrast, David McSweeney knows that Washington spending doesn't help create jobs, it's the hard work and ingenuity of the American people that does," said Toomey.

The others endorsed are Rep. Steve Chabot (OH-01) Ralph Norman (SC-05)and Michelle Bachmann (MN-06).
