MITT ROMNEY RECEIVES SUPPORT OF FORMER
SENATOR ELIZABETH DOLE
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of former North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole.
“I
am humbled to have Senator Elizabeth Dole’s support,” said Mitt Romney.
“Throughout her life, she has demonstrated the loyalty and service to
her country that should be an example for all public servants. Senator
Dole’s support will be integral as I take my pro-growth message to
voters across the country.”
In a letter supporting Mitt Romney, Senator Elizabeth Dole wrote:
“America
is facing some of the greatest challenges in our nation’s history, in
particular with regard to our economic future. It is vitally important
that we nominate an individual with both a steady hand for these
difficult times and the experience and capabilities to get our country
back on track.”
“In
a phone call Monday afternoon, I advised Governor Romney that I’m
supporting him and will do whatever I can to be of assistance between
now and the November election. I’ve been in all of Iowa’s 99 counties
twice and have met hundreds and hundreds of dedicated voters.
Endorsements may not matter, but hopefully my friends in Iowa will also
offer their support to the Governor, a man of experience, leadership
and unassailable character.”
