ROMNEY’S WEST VIRGINIA STATE COMMITTEE DELIVERS PAPERWORK FOR MITT
ROMNEY TO APPEAR ON BALLOT
Boston, MA –
Mitt Romney’s West Virginia State Committee today delivered the
necessary paperwork for him to appear on the ballot in West Virginia
with the Secretary of State’s office in Charleston. Appearing at the
filing were State Chairman Bill Phillips and Co-Chairs RNC
Committeewoman Donna Gosney, Delegate Bob Ashley, WVGOP Vice Chairman
Thomas O’Neill, Romney 2008 West Virginia State Director Wendy
McCuskey, and State Senator Donna Boley.
“My
team is working hard in West Virginia to ensure that we are able to
defeat President Obama and turn around our country,” said Mitt Romney.
“While the country is facing economic hardship and sluggish growth
caused by President Obama’s policies, few states have seen as direct an
attack on their economy by this Administration as West Virginia. In
order for our country, and West Virginia, to get back on a path to
economic prosperity, I will make developing West Virginia’s vast energy
resources a part of my economic plan on day one.”
“Getting
our country’s budget back in order is an important part of getting our
economy back in order,” said Delegate Bob Ashley. “Mitt Romney is a
conservative businessman who used the principles from the private
sector to balance the budget and create a rainy day fund when he was
governor. His economic plan cuts spending and will put us on the path
to fiscal health.”
“Mitt
Romney is the one conservative who can win the nomination and go up
against President Obama,” said RNC Committeewoman Donna Gosney. “He has
a record of leadership and achievement that is unmatched. Republicans
will face a tough battle campaigning against President Obama’s $1
billion machine, but Mitt Romney has shown throughout his life that he
doesn’t back down from challenges.”
“Mitt
Romney has a conservative economic plan to get our economy working
again,” said State Senator Donna Boley. “Backing up this plan are four
years of fiscal restraint, lower taxes, and job creation when Mitt
Romney was governor. He has shown that conservative principles can be
used to make government more accountable to taxpayers and make
government less intrusive for small businesses. In addition, West
Virginians are supporting him because he has pledged his support in
developing West Virginia’s vast energy resources.”
