Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval Endorses Rick Perry

[RandySF]

Sandoval announced his support forPerry in a statement late Tuesday, just a day after another governor, Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal, also endorsed Perry:

"Our nation needs a leader in the White House who understands the role of government and our economy. Governor Rick Perry has the strongest record of job creation, fiscal discipline, and executive branch leadership among the presidential candidates. As a governor, Rick Perry created a tremendous blueprint for job creation and as President, I know he will get America working again. I consider Governor Perry a friend and I am proud to endorse his campaign for President."

Sandoval is also prominent as a Republican politician of Latino background, and could potentially help Perry’s campaign outreach to that demographic of voters, in addition to Perry’s relatively pragmatic approach to immigration issues at Monday’s Republican debate.

Gov. Jim Gibbons who http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Gibbons_(U.S._politician)#Ethics_group_named_Gibbons_one_of_America.27s_worst_governors">left office with 10% approval:

* Violated campaign finance law by accepting illegal corporate donations
* Allegedly assaulted a waitress
* Overlooked ethical lapses of his appointee
* Misused state resources in pursuit of an extra-marital affair
* Endangered his state’s economy by threatening to reject federal stimulus funds
* Has been investigated for his conduct as a member of Congress
