Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, who served all eight years of the Ronald Reagan Administration, mourned the loss of the president on Saturday.
The chairman of Campaign for Working Families made the following statement after the news of the president’s passing: “My heart goes out to Mrs. Reagan and the Reagan family on the passing of Ronald Reagan, a modern day American Hero. Our country lost an extraordinary man and extraordinary president.”
“History will record that Ronald Reagan’s clear vision of what was at stake in the Cold War lead to the unraveling of the Soviet Union and the triumph of liberty. He transformed the Republican Party, making it a voice for the values of hearth and home. His insistence that the American people were overtaxed led to the biggest decline in marginal tax rates in the history of the country and the revival of economic growth, the effects of which echo even today. I will forever by honored by the opportunity to serve him.” |
