ROMNEY ANNOUNCES
MONTANA LEADERSHIP TEAM
Governors
Babcock,
Martz, and Racicot and Republican National Committeeman Galt
Endorse Romney
Boston, MA – Mitt
Romney today announced the endorsement of former Montana Governors Tim
Babcock and Judy Martz, who together will lead the Romney for President
effort in Montana as Honorary State Chairs. “Governors Babcock
and
Martz spent their time in office fighting to improve the economy for
the people of Montana,” said Governor Romney after the
announcement.
“They understand the importance of responsible spending and keeping
taxes low. I look forward to working with them to deliver my
message
of a stronger economy, stronger military and stronger families to the
citizens of Montana.” Former Montana Governor and Republican
National Committee Chairman Marc Racicot endorsed Romney last week.
"Governor
Romney, as a former chief executive, has the experience, vision and
values to lead our country,” stated Governor Martz. “His proven
record
of turning around companies and the state of Massachusetts, not to
mention his success with the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City,
demonstrates that he has the strong leadership abilities to turn around
our country. He is the one Republican candidate that can bring
the
conservative principles of lower taxes, restrained spending and smaller
government to Washington.”
The
Romney for President campaign also announced that Rep. Scott Reichner
from Bigfork will serve as General Chairman of the Romney for President
Montana Committee. Rep. Reichner has been instrumental in early
