(Columbus) – The Ohio Right to Life PAC Board announced today that they have endorsed Bob Gibbs in his campaign to unseat Zack Space for Ohio’s 18th Congressional District.  A life-long champion of Life issues, and a conservative State Senator, Gibbs was the only candidate endorsed in the 8-way Republican Primary.

“I’m pleased and honored to have earned this endorsement,” said Gibbs, once the announcement was made official this afternoon.  “We have to get serious about winning this district back from Zack Space and bringing sensible leadership back to our area,” he added.  “I’ve received much support and many endorsements in my race, but there is none that I’m more proud of than to have earned that of my friends in the Life movement.”

Gibbs has a record in the legislature of voting for issues important to respecting the sanctity of life, including HB 102, the bill requiring the Department of Health to provide readily available information to expectant mothers about umbilical cord blood banking, which was recently signed into law by the Governor.

Gibbs had been previously endorsed by Ken Blackwell, a host of elected officials and local party leaders, and has the support of the Ohio Republican Party.  He’s received high marks from several conservative organizations, and now adds the Ohio Right to Life endorsement to his campaign.

“Whether it was bills fighting human cloning, or protecting the rights of the unborn, I’ve always stood with Ohio Right to Life when it’s counted the most,” Gibbs said.  “Now, I’m humbled that they have decided to stand with me as I take the fight to Washington DC,” he concluded.
