Antonnage Creates PAC
Former delegate says PAC is not precursor to campaign
PROVINCETOWN, WIK--Former Sen. Marie Antonnage (C-POG) has created a new political action committee (PAC) that will focus on supporting conservative candidates in legislative and executive races nation-wide. But the former senator insists the PAC is not a step toward running for office herself.
The PAC, called "Common-Sense Conservatism," (CSC-PAC) will focus on endorsing and fundraising for candidates who support conservative principles on issues such as fiscal responsibility, military strength, national security, and economic policy. A spokeswoman for Senator Antonnage said the PAC will endorse candidates from all political parties, as long as the candidates' views match up with the organization's principles.
"CSC-PAC is focused on supporting common-sense politicians. It doesn't matter if you're a Conservative or a Nationalist or a Democratic-Reformist. If you support common-sense solutions to the problems our country is facing, we will help support you in the political arena," Jerri Adkins said.
The creation of CSC-PAC raises questions about Senator Antonnage, who vacated her Senate seat in POG last year to run for the Senate in her native-Wilkonshire. Antonnage lost to NAT Sylvea Stone in Wilkonshire's special election, and then lost again to NAT Sen. Tom O'Hearn. Recent rumors have suggested Antonnage, who remains popular in her former constituency POG, may make a third run to reclaim a seat in the Senate by holding a rematch with Stone in 2010. Other political insiders have suggested Antonnage may return to POG to run for the seat currently held by fellow Conservative Shannon Barbieri, who is not expected to seek reelection in 2010.
But Antonnage denied those rumors on GNN's Sunday Tea news program. When asked by host Allison Gerlach if she was using the PAC as a stepping-stone to running for the Senate, Ms. Antonnage down-played the organization's significance.
"I know a lot of people are saying this is a 'stepping-stone,' but just because I created a political action committee does not mean I am running for the Senate or for any other program," Antonnage said.
But sources within the CNS party say many party insiders are privately urging Antonnage to seek office in 2010.
"They want her back, because she was really an effective senator, and she has an ability to bring nationalists and conservatives together," one source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told GNN News.
Antonnage's office has declined to comment further on the PAC. The senator will hold a ceremony in Provincetown Wednesday to welcome the inception of the organization.
