PRESS RELEASE
Young Conservatives of Texas Release 2008 Primary Endorsements

(Austin, TX) The Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) are proud to announce their endorsements of conservative candidates across the state of Texas for the 2008 primary elections.

"These candidates are true conservatives who will bring real Texan values to the offices they are elected to," said Laura Elizabeth Morales, YCT Director of Public Relations.

YCT uses questionnaires and personal interviews along with meticulous research to identify each candidate's positions on the issues before making their endorsement decisions.

"The Young Conservatives of Texas applaud the candidate's positions on the issues, some of which include controlling government spending, securing our nation's borders and limiting the size of government," said Morales.

YCT has chapters at Texas Tech University, West Texas A&M University, A&M University, the University of North Texas, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas at San Antonio. YCT is a non-partisan grassroots political organization that has been fighting for conservative values for more than a quarter century in the Lone Star State. To learn more visit http://www.yct.org.

The statement that no endorsement means nobody meets YCT's standards is misleading. In fact, if the race is not contested, no endorsement will appear, no matter how conservative the incumbent is.

The statement "no endorsement" means neither candidate is conservative after adequate information was gathered on the candidates.

A race that is not listed means that the race is either not contested in the primary or there was not adequate information gathered on the candidates to make an educated endorsement.
