THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported Monday that Florida senator Marco Rubio also picked up four notable Walker supporters in Iowa:
In addition, Brittany Gaura, an Iowa State University student who co-chaired Iowa Students for Walker, is also endorsing Rubio. “As much as I support Governor Walker, I know it is a critical time in this nation’s history. I am supporting Marco for the positive vision and strong leadership he will bring to America’s future,” she said.
