Were dedicated to helping the Republicans who made the last legislative session so successful. We have a finite amount of resources and many seats to protect but that is a good problem to have" Hilderbran said.

by $15 billion over the previous biennium and increased state revenue without raise taxes.
Our goal now is to ensure that the representatives who are responsible for these successes receive credit in this election for their hard work and diligence" Hilderbran said.
