The presidential campaign of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman has failed to get high off the ground so far. But he is receiving an endorsement from a major national figure — Tom Ridge, Homeland Security secretary under President George W. Bush, according to New Hampshire’s
UnionLeader.com. Ridge also was governor of Pennsylvania.
Huntsman is announcing Ridge’s backing in an event in Goffstown, N.H. Friday.
“I know Jon to be a serious, insightful leader who will bring together people from across the political spectrum to solve the many challenges we face, both at home and around the world,” Ridge said in a statement.
