MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES
SUPPORT OF FORMER MONTANA GOVERNOR MARC RACICOT
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of former Montana Governor Marc Racicot.
“I’m
honored to have the endorsement of a man who has spent so much time in
the service of this country,” said Mitt Romney. “First as an officer in
the Army JAG Corps, then as a state prosecutor, and finally as the
Governor of Montana, Governor Racicot knows what sort of leadership we
need to restore American greatness and bring this country back to where
it belongs.”
Announcing
his support, Governor Racicot said, “The people of Montana and a clear
majority of the people of this country have been seriously and
adversely impacted by the perilous circumstances confronting this
nation. A prolonged combination of crippling debt, unbridled government
spending and a stagnant economy imposes more damage and destruction on
Montana and American families every day. We need a president with
a
clear plan to move with the urgency required to bring down the federal
deficit while encouraging economic growth and prosperity. Mitt
Romney
will be that president, and that’s why he has my support. I urge
my
fellow Montanans and fellow citizens across the country to join me.”
