Romney Delaware Endorser Switches His Support to Gingrich
Dover, DE - Newt
2012 announced today that Hans Reigle, Chairman of the Kent County
Republican Party, is switching his support from Mitt Romney to Newt
Gingrich. Reigle has also served as the Mayor of Wyoming,
Delaware and
over 20 years in the United States Air Force.
"I previously endorsed Governor Romney, but since then Newt is
the only candidate who has shown a willingness to meet and talk with
Delaware voters for more than hour," said Hans Reigle. "Over the
past
few weeks I've listened to Newt discussing his vision for achieving
$2.50 gasoline, balancing the budget, and shrinking the size of
government and it is exactly the kind of positive agenda we need for
Delaware and America. I'm proud to switch my support to Newt
Gingrich
and cast my vote for him next Tuesday."
"Hans is a dedicated Republican who understands the importance of
local parties. I'm honored he has decided to join our team," said
Newt
Gingrich. "I look forward to working with Hans to share our
positive
message of job creation and lower gasoline prices across the state of
Delaware ahead of Tuesday's primary."
Gingrich is campaigning in Delaware this week in advance of the state's
April 24th primary.
