Giuliani Picks Up Nancy Johnson Endorsement

ABC News’ Jan Simmonds Reports: Rudy Giuliani, R-N.Y., will receive the endorsement  of former U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Johnson, R-Conn., Monday afternoon.

Johnson served in Congress from 1983 through 2007, and is known for her work on health care, an issue the Giuliani camp has been pushing with a new radio ad and direct mailing in New Hampshire.

The former Congresswoman co-authored the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit program, which took effect in 2006, giving the former New York mayor’s campaign a well regarded surrogate on health care issues.

In 2006, Johnson, targeted by MoveOn.org, lost her bid for reelection to Democrat Chris Murphy.
