MITT ROMNEY
ANNOUNCES THE SUPPORT OF WASHINGTON CONGRESSMAN DAVE REICHERT
Boston, MA
– Mitt Romney today announced the support of Washington Congressman
Dave Reichert.
“Congressman
Reichert has served his community with distinction and it is an honor
to have his support,” said Mitt Romney. “I look forward to working with
him and the rest of my growing Washington team so that we can defeat
President Obama and bring jobs back to Washington State.”
Announcing
his support, Congressman Reichert said, “Right now, we are missing real
leadership in the White House. President Obama has had many failed
policies over the last three years and Americans deserve better. Mitt
Romney has been a successful leader and has shown that commonsense,
real world experience can be used to turn around tough situations. Our
economy and country need a new direction and I believe that Mitt Romney
is the person with the background and skills to lead our country back
on the right path. On March 3rd, I urge Washingtonians to support Mitt
Romney – with a leader like him in the White House, we can be confident
of a bright future.”
