PRESS RELEASE from Romney for President

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE	CONTACT: Romney Press Office

Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced the support of North Dakota statewide elected officials. He also announced his grassroots volunteer team.
 
“It is an honor to have such an overwhelming number of supporters on our team in North Dakota, and I want to thank Senator John Hoeven and his wife Mikey Hoeven for serving as honorary co-chairs of our growing team,” said Mitt Romney. “These leaders understand that President Obama’s policies are not helping North Dakota. With their hard work, we can make sure that Washington gets out of the way of states like North Dakota so they can develop their energy resources and create an environment for businesses to expand and hire.”
 
Announcing the additions to Mitt Romney’s North Dakota team, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said, “Mitt Romney enjoys widespread support across North Dakota because he is the best candidate to defeat President Obama, put an end to the out of control spending in Washington, and lead an economic turnaround. No other candidate, either in the White House or in the Republican Party, has the lifelong record of successful leadership that Mitt Romney has. At no time in recent history has our country needed a strong leader like Mitt Romney as we do now. That is why I support Mitt Romney and why I urge fellow North Dakotans to support him as well.”
