NH EXECUTIVE COUNCILOR DAN ST. HILAIRE ENDORSES MITT ROMNEY

Boston, MA – Governor Mitt Romney today announced the support of New Hampshire Executive Councilor Dan St. Hilaire. Councilor St. Hilaire will help Governor Romney spread his pro-jobs message and build support across the Granite State.
 
“Dan St. Hilaire has been a leader in the fight to preserve New Hampshire’s traditions of limited government and fiscal responsibility,” Mitt Romney said. “I am proud to earn his support and look forward to working with him during my campaign to promote economic growth and bring fiscal sanity to Washington.”  
 
Announcing his support, Councilor St. Hilaire said, “As a fiscally responsible governor, Mitt Romney kept taxes low, controlled spending and balanced budgets. As a successful businessman, he created jobs and turned around struggling enterprises. He is a uniquely qualified candidate who has the experience needed to control our exploding deficits and fix our broken economy.”
 
Dan St. Hilaire was first elected as Executive Councilor for the Second District in 2010. In this role, he has fought to keep state spending under control. A resident of Concord, St. Hilaire also serves on the Concord City Council as Mayor Pro Tem. He is a former Merrimack County Attorney, the county’s top law enforcement officer. He previously served as a prosecutor for the City of Concord. St. Hilaire was appointed as an alternate delegate to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, MN by Senator John McCain (R-AZ).
