MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES
SUPPORT OF NORTH CAROLINA ELECTED OFFICIALS AND LEADERS
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of North Carolina elected officials and leaders.
“It’s
wonderful to have the support of so many North Carolina conservatives,”
said Mitt Romney. “Since I started my campaign, I’ve looked to share my
vision of how to create jobs and once again restore fiscal sanity in
Washington. This show of support from leaders in the Tarheel State
proves that my message is resonating.”
Announcing
his support, State Senator Tommy Tucker said, “North Carolinians are
sick and tired of Washington’s reckless spending. Mitt Romney spent his
life as a conservative businessman. He knows that, in the real economy,
you simply cannot keep spending more than you take in. As president, he
will cut federal spending and push for a balanced budget amendment. We
cannot risk another four years of Barack Obama’s failed policies. I
call on all conservatives that want a simpler, smaller, and smarter
federal government to join me in supporting Mitt Romney.”
