“Terri McCormick maintained a strong right-to-life voting record while serving in the State Assembly. If elected to Congress, McCormick will oppose the horrendous Freedom of Choice Act and is committed to voting against government funding of abortion here and overseas, unethical stem cell research, cloning, and rationing of medical care.”

– Wisconsin Right to Life, July 6, 2010

“Here’s what Change the Congress in 2010 wants for Wisconsin 8th District voters: An honest representative. A trustworthy person. A person with real experience in life. A person who lives and works and volunteers in her community – her community in Wisconsin. A person who cares about people. A person who has paid taxes. A person who has balanced a budget. A person who has created jobs – real jobs. A person who will put her God and her country above herself. A person who will not sell out to the lobbyists. Terri McCormick is that person.”

– Catherine Welborn, Change the Congress in 2010

“McCormick’s a conservative to be sure; she’s even shown some sympathy with the tea party crowd. But the former legislator has always been a maverick … [s]o the 8th might experience something rare in American politics: a contest between two genuine mavericks who disagree on a bunch of fundamental issues. A Kagen/McCormick race would be exciting, maybe a bit edgy.”

– John Nichols, Capital Times, 2009

“[W]hile Gard is clearly the front-runner in the Sept. 12 Republican primary because of his war chest and obvious party connections, the best GOP candidate is state Rep. Terri McCormick of Appleton.”

– Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, September 6, 2006

– Thomas M. Sullivan, U.S. Small Business Administration, 2004

– Michael Swartz, blogger

“[Terri] McCormick has the experience and the intellect to be a leader of the new group of conservative republicans that can restore the party to greatness. While Sarah Palin is getting all of the attention, the eyes of the party should focus on McCormick.”

– Stephen Edds, book reviewer, 2010

“I have watched Terri’s career closely and know that she will do what she has always done: solve problems with free enterprise thinking. Terri is not just another average Jane who believes she can succeed in Washington.

This is a person who has proven herself in Madison for three terms. If you want someone fighting in Washington for term limits to keep powerful political careers from taking over our country, you want to support Terri McCormick.”

“As the publisher of The Wisconsin Conservative Digest, I know a conservative candidate when I see one. And as the leader of the Ronald Reagan campaigns in Wisconsin throughout the 1980s as well as a former Republican County Chairman, I know what it takes to win elections. Terri McCormick has a sterling resume and a large base of support. There’s a lot to like about Terri and I think voters can identify with her because she has guts and tells the truth. I believe she is going to win this race. Terri McCormick will make an excellent Congresswoman for the Eighth District.”

“People ask me, Harold, what makes Terri McCormick so special? Why are you supporting her campaign with such enthusiasm? My simple response is, because Terri McCormick has courage. She has independence. She has the smarts and the ability to get things done against tough odds. And this ‘ole U.S. Army vet. is not alone. Nearly every veteran is supporting Terri; the veterans still surviving from WWII, to my war, Vietnam, to those brave souls returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. We trusted Terri would help our disabled veterans with keeping their homes. And she delivered AB 242, the Disabled Veterans Tax Credit bill, creates a property tax credit for those suffering from both their war injuries and now, economic hardship. Terri McCormick is not a politician. She has challenged her Party’s leadership without retreat. She has marched with veterans and now it is our duty to march with her.”

“I have known Terri McCormick for many years and think most highly of her legislative record in Madison. She has been a real bell ringer down there, and I know she will repeat that perseverance and persuasiveness in Washington, and with the kinds of efforts that we seriously need to reverse the slide we have been in out there. Terri already has an amazing collection of supportive groups in this bid for office, and I am not in doubt she will win the primary … and the general election as well when the voting is over.”

“Terri comes from a very strong background of business and understands the crisis that losing more business and industry would cause. I’ve been in manufacturing for 45 years as an engineer, manager, and executive and have lived in Appleton for over thirty years. I fully support Terri McCormick due to her very strong passion of continuing prosperous manufacturing in our state and in particular Northeast Wisconsin.”

Douglas Maki

“I am very impressed by Terri’s views on limited, but effective government. Terri’s belief in the free market is just what this country needs. She realizes that we need to curb spending if the next generation is going to have any chance at a good quality of life.”

“If you want your Representative in Congress to be honest, intelligent, creative, articulate, independent, and able to write legislation that utilizes innovative solutions to fix complex problems, then you would do well to consider Terri McCormick as your candidate. It comes down to questions of honesty, integrity and character.”
