“As a former Marine who served in Iraq, and with a Ph.D. in International Relations, Rep. Mike Gallagher is uniquely positioned to understand the severity of threats facing our nation and the importance of a strong national security,” said Ambassador John Bolton. “He knows what it takes to protect America, which is why I am endorsing his re-election campaign for Congress.”
Mike Gallagher issued the following statement in response to Ambassador Bolton’s contribution to his campaign:
"I am honored to receive Ambassador Bolton’s endorsement and, inspired by his example, will continue to fight every day in Congress to restore American leadership and rebuild our military. The U.S.-led global order faces enormous threats that demand dedicated public servants willing to put our country’s national security ahead of their own political interests.”
In the 2016 election cycle, the John Bolton PAC contributed a total of $680,000 and endorsed 94 candidates, making it the most active leadership PAC in the country, and earning the PAC numerous industry awards. This is the earliest the John Bolton PAC has involved itself in an election cycle, signaling Ambassador Bolton’s plans to significantly increase contributions for the 2018 elections.
In addition to his leadership PAC, Ambassador Bolton heads the John Bolton SuperPAC, which spent nearly $5M on independent expenditures for three U.S. Senate races in 2016.

Bolton to raise the importance of American national security in federal elections.
