NEW: Sen. Scott Brown Endorses Barry Hinckley
Monday, February 27, 2012
The Barry Hinckley for U.S. Senate campaign today announced that Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) is endorsing Hinckley’s 2012 bid.
“I am pleased to endorse Barry Hinckley’s candidacy for U.S. Senate,” said Senator Brown. “As a proven job creator, Barry’s twenty years of entrepreneurial experience in the private sector will make him a strong leader and independent voice for the people of Rhode Island.”
Two years ago, Brown shocked the political establishment by winning the open Senate seat in Massachusetts formerly held by Senator Ted Kennedy. Hinckley pointed out that the Brown campaign is a model for how independent-minded Republicans can win statewide offices in heavily Democratic New England.

He has proposed legislation to ease regulations on fisheries, to promote innovation in the manufacture of medical devices, and to help businesses hire our veterans.” Hinckley continued, “I look forward to serving with Senator Brown to advance such common-sense and bipartisan solutions to our dire economic situation. Senator Brown and I will stand shoulder to shoulder for the working families of New England and America.”
