Former Shawnee mayor Mills endorses Neese for Congress

FORMER SHAWNEE CITY MAYOR CHUCK MILLS ENDORSES TERRY NEESE FOR OKLAHOMA’S 5TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT SEAT

Oklahoma City, OK – Terry Neese, conservative Republican candidate for Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District, has received the endorsement of Chuck Mills, small business owner and former Mayor of the City of Shawnee. In a statement released today, Mills lauded Neese as the only candidate in the race who has the experience needed to help President Trump create jobs and empower small businesses to succeed.

“Terry understands the challenges that come with running a business, managing payroll, and creating jobs – and there is no candidate in the race who is better suited to fight for the Oklahoma working families and business owners,” said Chuck Mills. “It is time for our District to once again have a strong and trusted conservative voice in the Halls of Congress. After a 31-year career creating and finding tens of thousands of jobs, I know Terry is ready to take on Kendra Horn and other radicals in Congress who are pushing massive tax hikes, job-killing regulations, and an agenda that will devastate small businesses in Oklahoma and across the nation.”

“Chuck Mills was a tremendous Mayor for Shawnee taxpayers and I am proud to have such a respected public servant and accomplished business owner endorse my campaign,” said Terry Neese. “In Congress, I will not stand by and allow Kendra Horn’s Democratic Party to undo the progress that has been made under President Trump’s Administration. I will fight tirelessly for lower taxes, regulatory relief, and policies that will provide economic security for 5th District workers and business owners.”

Former Shawnee City Mayor Chuck Mills is the latest to join the list of current and former conservative legislators, public officials, leaders, and organizations who have endorsed Terry Neese for U.S. Congress. Since launching her campaign in April, Neese has earned the support of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-5), former Republican 2016 Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Shawnee Mayor Richard Finley, RightNOW Women PAC, Eagle Forum PAC, and Freedomworks For America.
