And, the endorsement (from the press release):

U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today announced having earned the endorsement of former First Lady Nancy Reagan.

“I enjoyed meeting and talking with Carly Fiorina yesterday. I believe she knows what needs to be done to move our country forward, and I am pleased to provide an endorsement for her campaign for U.S. Senate,” said Reagan.

Besides her career in Hollywood, Reagan is also known for her work with Vietnam veterans and senior citizens. As First Lady of California, Reagan was particularly involved in the Foster Grandparent Program, an effort she continued to promote as First Lady of the United States. Reagan was also a leading champion of the “just say no” campaign against drug use.

“I am honored and humbled to have earned the endorsement of Mrs. Reagan, whom I greatly admire and respect,” said Fiorina. “She and I share the same core values, and I am thankful to have her confidence and support behind my campaign for U.S. Senate.”

Fiorina and Reagan met yesterday morning in Los Angeles.
