ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF MAJORITY WHIP KEVIN MCCARTHY
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today announced the support of California Congressman Kevin McCarthy. Congressman McCarthy will serve as a California Statewide Chair.
“Kevin
has been a leading voice in the effort to cut spending, reduce
burdensome regulations, and make government more accountable to the
taxpayers,” said Mitt Romney. “I share this vision for our country and
look forward to working with Kevin on these issues so that we can fix
our economy and get the country back on track.”
Announcing his
support, Majority Whip McCarthy said, “After a long and grueling
primary, it is clear that Mitt Romney is the best candidate to face
President Obama and fix the mess of his one and only term. Republicans
need to unite and work together if we plan to take back the White House
and put in place policies that will get our nation back on a path to
prosperity by reducing taxes, shrinking government, and empowering the
private sector. I am proud to support Mitt Romney and urge my fellow
Republicans to do the same.”
