MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF WISCONSIN
SENATOR RON JOHNSON
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson.
“I’m
proud to have earned the support of Senator Ron Johnson,” said Mitt
Romney. “Ron’s life-long experience as a successful manufacturer
and
job creator brought him to Washington in 2011. His understanding
and
focus on our debt and deficits, and pointed questioning of
administration officials, has quickly gained Ron the respect of
colleagues and the appreciation of hard working Americans.
Republican
Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, appointed Ron to develop a joint agenda
with House Republicans and the Republican Presidential nominee.
I look
forward to working with Ron during the campaign to develop that agenda,
and after the election, to reverse the disastrous policies of Barack
Obama.”

Senator Ron Johnson Endorse Mitt Romney for President
NBC’s Savannah Guthrie: “And
joining me live from Milwaukee is Wisconsin’s freshman Republican
Senator Ron Johnson. He was elected with strong Tea Party support in
2010. And until this morning has remained uncommitted in the Republican
presidential race. So Senator, I know you're here to break news this
morning. Throw your support behind a candidate. So, without further
ado, who will you be supporting?”
Senator Ron Johnson: “Mitt
Romney and good morning, Savannah. I’m the business guy from Oshkosh,
Wisconsin. I have 33 years’ experience in the private sector. I’ve been
in Washington now for 15 months. I certainly understand a big part of
our problem is the fact that this president and members of his
administration have no private sector experience whatsoever. And
Governor Romney has 25 years of experience in the private sector, plus,
he has executive experience in government. And I never did intend to
endorse anybody but I’ve had the opportunity to meet with Governor
Romney over the last couple weeks, have long phone conversations with
him. I’ve come away from those conversations fully convinced that
Governor Romney is the person to lead our party, to lead our nation. He
fully understands the gravity of our financial situation. He’s
dedicated toward solving those problems. He is ready, willing and able
to lead this nation, unlike President Obama. So today I’m happy to
announce my full support and my endorsement of Governor Romney to be
the next President of the United States. I’m looking forward to working
with Governor Romney and his team in my new role. I’ve been asked by
Leader McConnell to lead an effort, coordinate our agenda and our
message in the House, the Senate, with our presidential candidate, so
that we can communicate to the voters of America, the very clear choice
in our approach. We actually want to rely on the private sector. We
know that it’s freedom in the free market system versus President
Obama’s approach, growing government, growing government intrusion in
our lives. I’m looking forward to making sure that President Obama is a
one-term president.”
Background
on Senator Ron Johnson:

Feingold in a state that had not elected a Republican to the U.S.
