MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES
SUPPORT OF SENATOR ROB PORTMAN
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of U.S. Senator Rob Portman.
“It
is an honor to have the support of such a committed public servant,”
said Mitt Romney. “Bringing fiscal sanity to Washington is critical for
our country’s future economic health and national security. In the
United States Senate, Senator Portman has been a leader in the fight
for a balanced budget and I look forward to working with him to make
the federal government simpler, smaller, and smarter.”
“Four
years ago, President Obama came to Ohio and promised to change the
broken system in Washington and fix our economy - he has failed on both
counts,” said Senator Rob Portman. “Mitt Romney has been a
lifelong
leader who has shown how to bring people together to turn around tough
situations. And right now, that's exactly what our nation
needs.
Americans can be proud to stand behind Mitt - he has balanced budgets,
cut taxes, and created jobs. He is the one candidate who will be
able
to defeat President Obama in November and bring conservative change to
Washington while helping America achieve its great potential.”
