Sher Valenzuela has been endorsed in her Delaware lieutenant gubernatorial run by the Independence Hall Tea Party Political Action Committee, which is the only federally registered Tea Party PAC in the Delaware Valley.
It is the first time the PAC has endorsed a lieutenant governor candidate.
“With rare exception, the PAC normally endorses in federal contests. We’ve decided to endorse in this particular race due to the overwhelming qualifications, including leadership, that Sher Valenzuela brings to the table,” said PAC President, Don Adams.
Ms. Valenzuela and her husband Eli operate First State Manufacturing, a company in Milford with nearly 70 employees.
The company produces an array of products, ranging from protective padding for Major League Baseball umpires, to engine covers for U.S. armed forces aircraft, and combat vests for the Israeli Army.
