Fairbanks, Alaska. September 28, 2016 — Family Research Council Executive Vice President and former Delta Force Commander Lieutenant General (Ret.) William G. “Jerry” Boykin announced his endorsement of Joe Miller for U.S. Senate on Wednesday, describing the Alaskan as a “rock solid” conservative with whom he is “100 percent” in alignment.

“I am supporting Joe Miller. I believe in Joe,” Boykin stated, adding he is “a strong conservative on issues of national security, smaller government and fiscal constraint, and social issues like life and family. On all the core issues that conservatives hold dear, Joe is rock solid.”

“A West Point graduate, Joe has served his nation in the uniform of a United States Army officer, making him one of a dwindling number of leaders in America to have done so,” the retired three-star general said. “As a dedicated father and devoted husband, Joe embraces the family values that will help keep America strong.”

Miller responded to the backing of the renowned military and conservative leader saying, “I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the endorsement of a man whom I respect so deeply and who has served our country with such distinction.”

He added, “I share the general’s assessment that our nation is at a critical juncture, and new leadership is desperately needed in Washington, grounded in America’s founding constitutional principles, in order to restore the security, prosperity and liberty that have been the birthright of all Americans.”

Joe Miller is a limited government Constitutionalist who believes government exists to protect our liberties, not to take them away. He supports free people, free markets, federalism, the Constitutional right to life, the 2nd Amendment, religious liberty, American sovereignty, and a strong national defense.

William G. “Jerry” Boykin announced his endorsement of Miller for U.S. Senate. Boykin currently serves as Executive Director of the Family Research Council and formerly served as commander of the U.S. Army’s elite “Delta Force” among his many leadership assignments during his 36 year military career.

General Boykin’s endorsement statement reads in full:

“It is a great privilege to express my sincere support for and endorsement of Joe Miller for the US Senate. At a time when America needs leaders rather than professional politicians, Joe Miller is the man that Alaskans should send to Washington. A West Point graduate, Joe has served his nation in the uniform of a United States Army officer, making him one of a dwindling number of leaders in America to have done so.

“As a dedicated father and devoted husband, Joe embraces the family values that will help keep America strong. Joe Miller is a strong conservative on issues of National Security, Smaller Government and fiscal constraint, and Social issues like life and family. On all the core issues that conservatives hold dear, Joe is rock solid. I will be doing all I can to support Joe and I will be watching the polls on election night with great anticipation of Joe Miller being chosen to represent the fine men and women of Alaska in the US Senate.”

Miller responded to the endorsement stating, “I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the endorsement of a man I respect so deeply and who has served our country with such distinction. General Boykin is at the forefront of the fight to restore our nation’s cultural foundations of faith and family.”

Ronald Reagan said nearly 50 years ago, “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

“I thank General Boykin for his support of my candidacy, and I pledge to do all I can to steer the government back towards its core mission of securing Americans’ God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” said Miller.
