MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF
MISSISSIPPI SECRETARY OF STATE DELBERT HOSEMANN
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert
Hosemann.
“I’m
proud to gain Delbert’s support,” said Mitt Romney. “The people of
Mississippi are looking for a change in leadership in Washington.
Delbert shares my values of cutting spending, shrinking the size of
government, and instituting pro-growth economic policies. In the months
to come, I plan to spread this same message throughout the state of
Mississippi.”
Announcing
his support, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said, “The Republican
Party primaries have narrowed the field to four candidates. Each
one
has unique strengths and is an asset to the future of our
country.
However, only one can be president. Considering the economic and
security issues facing our country, I believe that person is Mitt
Romney, and I will support his nomination by the Republican Party for
president.
“Our
country and our state face economic issues and healthcare issues, and
our servicemen and women continue to depart overseas to defend our
country. Our current governmental course does not provide a
needed
solution to our nation's issues. Of the remaining candidates,
Mitt
Romney possesses the character and skill to provide the greatest
opportunity for that solution.”
Background
