Huckabee Campaign: Two Board Members Of Iowa Christian Alliance Announce Support For Huckabee Candidacy 5/17/2007 CONTACT: ERIC WOOLSON 515-681-3967 WEST DES MOINES – Rev. Brad Sherman and Scott Spray, board members of the Iowa Christian Alliance, today announced their personal support for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s campaign for president. Sherman, who is pastor of the Solid Rock Christian Church in Coralville, and Scott Spray of Johnston, lauded Huckabee’s conservative credentials as they announced their support. “Mike Huckabee is a man of deep convictions, with a strong conservative record of chief executive experience as Governor of Arkansas,” Spray said. “I believe he has the right positions on social, fiscal, and national security issues. Importantly, he has demonstrated an ability to work with people of both parties and get things accomplished without compromising his core values.” Sherman said, “Phony photo-op politicians are easy to spot – and that is not Mike Huckabee. He is a genuine man of faith who is not only right on the issues, but he also struck a chord in my heart that no other candidate has been able to do. America needs a man like Mike Huckabee now, with the leadership skills and vision to move our nation forward, now more than ever.” Sherman and Spray emphasized that their endorsements do not reflect a similar position by the Iowa Christian Alliance, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. Spray has been on the board of the Iowa Christian Alliance, which was formerly the Christian Coalition of Iowa, since 2002. He was awarded Christian Coalition of Iowa “Friend of the Family” award in 2001. A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Spray is the general sales manager for CompUSA in Clive. A veteran of grassroots political efforts in Iowa, he is a past member of the Black Hawk County GOP Central Committee and a current member of the Polk County GOP Central Committee Scott and his wife, Debbie, have three daughters. Sherman, who founded the Solid Rock Christian Church in 1981, is the author of several books. He also is the founder of Purpose Ministries, which focuses on current world view issues of purpose. In addition, Sherman serves as a board member of Miracle Life Ministries. He and his wife have been married for more than 30 years and have four children. “True leaders are people who stand up for their beliefs and values at critical times,” Huckabee said. “Brad Sherman and Scott Spray are standing up for their core values. Their support means a tremendous amount to me and my campaign. I share their commitment to authentic conservative values such as the sanctity of life, protection of traditional marriage and protection of our religious freedoms – and l look forward to our important work together in the coming weeks and months.” |
