“We respect their views just as we respect the views of others who are strongly supporting Senator Hatch’s re-election, including Mark Levin and C. Boyden Gray, who is the co-chairman of the FreedomWorks Foundation Board,” said Mr. Walsh. Mr. Levin is a conservative radio talk show host, and Mr. Gray a former diplomat and counsel to President George H.W. Bush.
