Club For Growth to bundle cash for five GOP contenders



The Club for Growth's political action committee will put its considerable fundraising machine to work for five Republican presidential candidates, the conservative group announced Tuesday.

The club, which advocates for small government and free market policies, will bundle campaign cash for Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas; Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky; Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida; former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida; and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin; and is encouraging its donors to give to these contenders, and these contenders only. That means there are 11 who did not make the cut, although the Club For Growth said in a press release that the announcement is not equal to an endorsement.

"Five candidates are at the forefront of the Republican presidential field on issues of economic freedom, and the Club for Growth PAC is standing with them to help them stand out from the rest," Club for Growth President David McIntosh said in a statement. "Senators Cruz, Paul, and Rubio have walked the talk, and have led on pro-growth issues at every opportunity in the Senate.
