Boston, MA –
Mitt Romney today announced the support of Illinois House Republican
Leader Tom Cross. The campaign also announced the endorsements of
seventeen State Representatives and one State Senator.
“My
message of more jobs, smaller government, and less debt is resonating
in Illinois,” said Mitt Romney. “I am proud to add these Illinois
public servants to my growing team and look forward to working with
them to spread my pro-growth message in the days leading up to the
primary on Tuesday.”
“Washington
is broken and we need a Washington outsider to fix it,” said House
Minority Leader Tom Cross. “Mitt Romney spent his life in the private
sector and knows that for our country to start creating jobs again, we
need to get Washington out of the way. With Mitt Romney in the White
House, voters in Illinois can be confident that they will have a
president who will bring jobs back and shrink both the federal
government and our federal debt.”
