Huntsman campaign statement on CNN/Tea Party Express debate

Zion National Park, Utah

From a Huntsman camp press release:

Huntsman campaign manager Matt David issued the following statement following the GOP debate in Tampa:

This evening at the GOP debate in Tampa, Governor Huntsman laid out his vision for America's future. He offered bold solutions to create jobs and jumpstart our stalled economy – a plan that's been described as 'the most pro-growth proposal ever offered by a U.S. presidential candidate.'

He showed he is the only candidate with foreign policy experience who, as a former U.S. Ambassador to China, knows intimately America's biggest competitor and what our nation needs to compete in the global economy.

And while many of his opponents pandered for votes, Jon spoke directly and truthfully on issues like debt, jobs and Afghanistan. Voters may not agree with Governor Huntsman on every issue, but they'll always know where he stands. The American people are tired of the empty rhetoric from President Obama and Washington. They deserve a serious leader with a bold vision to restore our nation's greatness. That's Jon Huntsman.
