Flake To Endorse Shadegg Tues.
ShareRep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) will make official his endorsement of Rep. John Shadegg for majority leader tomorrow.
A Flake spokesman confirmed that Flake will endorse a candidate -- but wouldn't confirm said candidate's identity.
No matter; it's no secret that Flake was among those encouraging Shadegg to enter the race, and the auburn-haired pork buster has much affection for his fellow RSCer.
Worth noting that our tally of leadership race endorsees today has Rep. Roy Blunt topping 90 -- a gain of five names from last week.
UPDATE: Though Shadegg's camp won't release his name, Rep. Jim Ryun (R-KS) co-signed a "Dear Colleague" touting the AZ'an on Friday, and Ryun's office confirms to us that they are backing Shadegg. So, for those keeping score at home -- or in certain marble buildings on either side of Independence Ave -- Shadegg now has 10 public endorsements.
