Bongino on Fox & Friends
US Senate candidate and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino (R-MD) was on Fox & Friends this morning discussing his service with the secret service. It's an interesting interview from a great US Senate candidate. Check it out, then check out his website (also my interview with him here).
Bongino Endorsed by Rutledge
Dan Bongino just received the endorsement from 2010 US Senate candidate Jim Rutledge. Rutledge, who never held public office before, ran a fiery primary campaign in 2010 against Eric Wargotz coming in a close second place in the statewide primary that year. I supported Rutledge in the primary (see my interview here), so it's great to see him come out for the candidate that I also support in 2012. Here's the transcript from the presser:
Jim Rutledge, former U.S. Senate candidate, has officially endorsed Dan Bongino, candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland.
"Dan Bongino will bring to the U.S. Senate what has been seriously lacking for some time in Maryland; a person that can truly relate to and speak for the average Maryland family," said Jim Rutledge. "Dan has an impressive life story and an accomplished record on the front line of law enforcement rising from the ranks of the NYPD to the Secret Service. Washington is awash with a culture of corruption. Dan Bongino is a man of courage and integrity. Dan Bongino knows that jobs, opportunity, and prosperity can only thrive in a free-market economy. We need a new beginning here in Maryland and that will start when we elect Dan Bongino. "
A former U.S. Senate candidate, Jim Rutledge is a partner with the Baltimore County law firm of Rutledge & Aitken, with over 25 years of legal experience representing Maryland's small businesses, average citizens, and farmers. Jim Rutledge is an advocate for constitutionally limited government and for the protection of American sovereignty, private property, free market capitalism, the rule of law, and the defense of our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A respected member of his community, Jim Rutledge currently resides in Harford County with his wife, Kim, where they raised their two children.
"It is an honor to receive Mr. Rutledge's endorsement. He has spent his career striving to bring about better government and providing a voice for those fighting against the powerful establishment," said Bongino. "As U.S. Senator, I will bring that fight. I will work to ensure that our federal government becomes more responsive to the needs of the people of Maryland."
Dan Bongino, a devoted husband and father, served in the United States Secret Service for more than a decade, in which he was assigned to the elite Presidential Protection Division. He represented the U.S. as a lead government security official in over 25 countries. Holding graduate degrees in Business Administration and Psychology, Dan has gone on to start several successful businesses in Maryland. As an entrepreneur, he understands that it will be small businesses and consumer confidence that will reinvigorate the economy; not a tax and spend mentality from big government.

Haddaway-Riccio Endorses Bongino
Maryland's House Minority Whip, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio, has endorsed Dan Bongino for US Senate. Here's the article from her blog:
Maryland House Minority Whip Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio has endorsed Dan Bongino, candidate for U.S. Senate in Maryland.
"Dan Bongino is an excellent example of the next generation of leaders who understand that the ways of the past will not lead us to a better future," said Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio. "Electing Dan Bongino to the U.S. Senate is paramount to changing the mindset and culture in Washington."

"I am honored by the Minority Whip's endorsement. Delegate Haddaway-Riccio represents a new generation of leaders in our state who refuse to allow Maryland to fall to the wayside, while the powerful establishment serves the needs of special interests over the needs of the people," said Bongino. "Jeannie and I firmly believe that the future for Maryland lies in the hands of those willing to change the way the federal and state governments operate and respond to the very people it serves."
Bongino Endorsed by Congressman Walsh (R-IL)
2012 Maryland US Senate candidate Dan Bongino has been endorsed by Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL). Here's the press release:
Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) announced Monday his endorsement of former United States Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino for U.S. Senate in Maryland.
"Career politicians and Washington insiders have spent away a generation of American prosperity and failed to lead," said Congressman Joe Walsh. "Dan's personal integrity and bold leadership from the Secret Service is desperately needed within the U.S. Senate."
"Our nation is approaching a fiscal precipice; we simply cannot sustain our financial future unless we have proven leaders like Dan to fight for the interests of hard-working Americans who have been shut out of the political process. The raw passion Dan has for his family and country is refreshing. I am proud to stand by his side in his bid to replace the failed status quo."
Dan Bongino served for over a decade in the United States Secret Service. While serving, he was a member of the elite Presidential Protection Division and represented the United States as a lead government security official in over 25 countries. Before leaving the service, Dan led an investigation that broke one of the largest fraud rings in Maryland's history. He holds graduate degrees in Business Administration and Neuropsychology. Dan lives in Severna Park with his wife, Paula, and their daughter. The Bongino's are expecting their second child early next year.
"I am honored to receive Congressman Walsh's endorsement," said Bongino. "Congressman Walsh refuses to shy away from difficult battles and I share his sincere passion to fight for middle class Americans and small business owners. When elected, I look forward to working with the Congressman to fix this broken system."
Elected to the U.S. House in 2010, Rep. Joe Walsh has dedicated his life to public service. He has advocated for a wide range of public policy issues and causes, most notably advancing market-based solutions to education reform and urban poverty. He has also taught American government and American history at the community college level. He and his wife Helene together have five children.
Walsh ran against incumbent Congresswoman Bean (D) in 2010. He was being heavily outspent and outgunned. No one expected him to win. He did. Bongino can do that in Maryland.
