"Joe the Plumber" endorses Mike Bouchard for Governor

Oakland County – Mike Bouchard, Republican candidate for governor, today gained the endorsement of Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher. On the heels of internal polling numbers showing him tied for first place, Bouchard has gained national attention calling for Right to Work in Michigan, a labor stronghold.

"I am pleased to have "Joe the Plumber’s" endorsement in my race for governor," said Bouchard. "He was not afraid to ask President Obama the tough questions and he didn’t hold back when asking what my plans are for Michigan. I explained to him that under a Bouchard administration modeled after my Blueprint for Prosperity, Michigan will once again be prosperous."

"Joe the Plumber" gained national attention in 2008 when he asked then Senator Obama if his small business tax plan would hurt the "American Dream." After "Joe" asked the question heard around the world, the term "Joe the Plumber" became a household name. "Joe the Plumber" became the icon of the average middle class American who John McCain and Sarah Palin referred to on their quest for the presidency in 2008.

"After weighing the options in Michigan’s gubernatorial race, the only clear answer to getting Michigan back to work is Mike Bouchard," said Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher. "Mike Bouchard has a clear and decisive plan for rebuilding Michigan’s economy. He is a man of his word and a brave to fight for Right to Work in Michigan. Mike knows what is right and will champion issues which may be unpopular, but necessary to ensure Michigan’s hard working people can find a good paying job."
