"A good man"
- Vice Admiral Jim Stockdale, US Navy retired

"I strongly endorse Tim Kane. These trying times demand leaders with Integrity, Initiative, Honor and plain old GUTS, who have the background and desire to serve their Country. Tim Kane more than meets those criteria! We need his fresh viewpoint and enthusiasm in Congress!"
- Brigadier General (USAF ret.) Jim Rhodes, San Diego resident

"As a former Deputy Secretary of Defense and Ambassador to NATO, I know that Tim Kane's military and intelligence experience could be immensely valuable to the Congress, to the nation and to San Diego in the times to come."
- Robert F. Ellsworth, Chairman, Hamilton Apex Technology Ventures, L.P.

"My law firm has represented two high-tech companies founded by Tim. We are all meant to serve, but some of us, like Tim Kane, are meant to serve and sacrifice in larger ways. That is why I strongly endorse Tim Kane for Congress."
- Shawn C. Helms, Attorney, Cooley Godward LLP

"As a business leader, a former officer in the military, and a great family man, few people are better prepared to represent us in Washington. Most importantly to me, Tim Kane is an individual of great character and integrity."
- Ted Alexander, Partner at Mission Ventures

"Tim and I have been close friends since we met 10 years ago, while serving overseas in The Republic of Korea. Even then, Tim distinguished himself with an uncommon passion for service, a clarity of thought, and utter sincerity - qualities sorely lacking in the current crop of American political leaders."
- Sean Ryan, VP of K.K. TPRJ

"We all know the Air Force Academy was a mix of some great people & Tim was at the top of the list. Beyond being a squadron commander and having all of the nice credentials, Tim has more integrity and honor than almost anyone I know. He is one of the few people that I can honestly say that if anything ever happened to myself and my wife, I pray that someone like Tim would be there to raise my kids and teach them about right and wrong, integrity, fighting for what you believe in, and having the courage to follow your dreams."
- Louis de Felice, CEO of Credentialsmart

Tim is dedicated to serving our country with Honor. With a healthy dose of irreverence, he has never been afraid to challenge the status quo. He wants to get things done that matter, and he wants to get them done in the most effective and efficient way possible. For all these reasons, I strongly endorse Tim for the U.S. Congress. He has shown his worth as a savy businessman and a military officer. All of this, and all the great things he will do in the future, are built on a foundation that is second to none. He is the right choice. Please help him make a difference for America. Support Tim Kane.
- Scott Pillsbury, President of Rose City Label

"I have known Tim for three years and I have found him to be a man of character, commitment and personal integrity. Tim is also a servant leader with a tremendous heart. He is a dedicated family man who I believe will represent our best interests in Washington."
- Doug Wall, San Diego High Tech Leader

"I remember how hard Tim worked to help us set up our son's wedding. He saw to all the small details - even helped put the chairs in our van - a mother remembers those things. Voters should elect Tim to Congress because I believe he has the necessary talent, skill, and ability needed - but more importantly, he will be able to utilize those abilities to make a difference."
- Patricia Herskind

"In 1989-90, Tim served as a Center Fellow for the Center for the Study of the Presidency and was outstanding in his leadership. Now, for more than a decade, he has studied public policy, particularly as regards Congress and the House of Representatives."
- R. Gordon Hoxie, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Center for the Study of the Presidency

"Tim has always had a passion for making a difference. He has purposely pursued a variety of experiences that would broaden his exposure & understanding of constituent needs."
- Marcella Williams

"Tim, I grew up in Southern California and I know well that SoCal is in desperate need of a voice of reason . . . the "Four E's" is the place to start. As your classmate and squadron-mate at the Academy, I can attest that you were a wise and respected leader then as you are now."
- Ray Sagui, Capt, New Mexico ANG, F-16 Pilot, husband, father, USAFA '90

Back in fall 1996, I was hired as the first employee of NeocorTech LLC, Tim's first company. I owe a lot to Tim. With his strong leadership and a sense of balance, he will make America a better country.
- Maki Darwin, Japanese Linguist & Tim's first
