MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF MICHIGAN LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BRIAN CALLEY
Boston, MA
– Mitt Romney today announced the support of Michigan Lieutenant
Governor Brian Calley.
“I’m
honored to have Brian’s endorsement,” said Mitt Romney. “Brian is a
conservative leader who shares my views of lowering taxes, empowering
small businesses, protecting traditional values and rebuilding the
middle class. In the weeks and months to come, I look forward to
Brian’s help as I spread my vision of restoring American greatness
throughout my home state of Michigan.”
Announcing his
support, Lieutenant Governor Calley said, “This election is the most
consequential of my lifetime. Today, our country faces a piling debt,
federal entitlement programs badly needing reform, and endless
gridlock. We need a president who will lead America back to prosperity.
That is why I’m supporting Mitt Romney. He has detailed a clear plan to
cut spending, cap the size of government, and balance the federal
budget. I urge my fellow conservatives who are concerned about the
direction of Michigan and this country to join me in supporting our
native son.”
