College Republicans Endorse Write-In Candidate over Republican

From Burges Candidate Forum

The UTEP College Republicans have endorsed write-in candidate Tim Collins for Congress in his bid to unseat Congressman Sylvestre Reyes.

Tim Collins is also facing the Republican nominee, Tim Besco. The College Republicans have had a pretty public dispute with Besco and his campaign manager over alleged interpersonal disputes between the campaign and key members of the Republican party.

This is perhaps the most significant endorsement Collins has received to date. "I appreciate their endorsement. They were very vocal about their criticism of the Republican nominee."

Collins said that he was contacted by the UTEP College Republicans and was sent a one-page questionnaire to find out about his positions on various issues before he was awarded the endorsement.
