Former Brownback campaign leader endorses McCain
An anti-abortion activist and former member of Sen. Sam Brownback’s presidential steering committee endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination Monday.
Dr. Jerry Zandstra, president of the Pro-Life Federation of Michigan and former member of the Brownback for President National Steering Committee, said McCain is “the only pro-life candidate in the race with the ability to defeat (Democratic) Sen. Hillary Clinton.”
Zandstran said he will spend the next several weeks trying to “convince other pro-life leaders and Brownback supporters that John McCain is the best candidate for conservatives to support.”
Brownback, a staunch opponent of abortion rights, dropped out of the GOP presidential campaign earlier this month, having failed to move up in the polls or raise enough money to compete in the upcoming primaries.
