Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) issued the following statement in response to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s entrance into the 2016 presidential race.

Rick Santorum said: “I know Hillary Clinton.  I served with Hillary Clinton.  Hillary Clinton does not have the right vision to lead America.”

“I believe we need a President who puts the American worker first, not the corporate interests the Clintons have aligned with.  I believe we need a President who stands up for the 75% of Americans who will never earn a college degree, not the government bureaucrats who are dictating policy from Washington, DC offices.  And I believe we need a President who understands it takes a family to rebuild America from the bottom-up, and it will not be a village, state, or federal government that makes America great again,” Santorum continued.

“In the 6 years I served with Senator Clinton, one thing was abundantly clear – Hillary Clinton believes that government is the solution to the challenges our nation faces, not the underlying cause of many of those problems. I am committed to working day and night over the next 18 months to ensure our next President is someone who understands the gravity of the challenges we face and has a message that puts hard-working American families first,” concluded Santorum.

Senator Santorum served in the United States Senate with Senator Clinton from 2001 – 2007.  During this time, Senator Clinton and Senator Santorum clashed time and time again on the Senate floor – on issues ranging from banning the heinous procedure known as Partial Birth Abortion to imposing tough sanctions on the radical Iranian regime.  In 2005, Senator Santorum authored the New York Times bestselling book “It Takes A Family” in direct response to Senator Clinton’s book “It Takes A Village.”

Last week, Senator Santorum and Patriot Voices PAC released its first advertisement highlighting Senator Clinton’s failures, focusing on her lack of judgment in opening herself and the United States to cyber-attacks during her tenure as Secretary of State.  To view Patriot Voices PAC’s advertisement holding Senator Clinton’s feet to the fire click here.
