MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FROM TEXAS
CONGRESSMEN SESSIONS, CARTER AND THORNBERRY
Boston, MA
– Mitt Romney today announced the support of National Republican
Congressional Committee Chairman Congressman Pete Sessions, House
Republican Conference Secretary Congressman John Carter and Congressman
Mac Thornberry.
“These
three men come from a long line of great conservative leaders from
Texas and I am proud to have their support,” said Mitt Romney. “They
share my goals for a smaller government, less debt and more jobs for
our country. They have been hard at work fighting against the failed
policies of the Obama Administration. I look forward to working with
them to defeat President Obama in November and putting conservative,
pro-growth policies in place.”
“The
Republican Party must unite behind the one candidate who can lead our
party, win in November, and put in place conservative pro-growth
policies to restart our economy,” said Congressman Pete Sessions. “Mitt
Romney has proven himself to be a tremendous leader throughout his
business career, as head of the Olympics, as governor, and in this long
primary. His bold plan to get our economy back on track utilizes the
same conservative principles that we have been fighting for in
Congress. Texans can be sure that they will have a 'friend of job
creators' with Mitt Romney in the White House.”
Announcing
his support, Congressman John Carter said, “It is rare that leaders
come along with such a tremendous record in the private and public
sectors. Mitt Romney knows how to create jobs – he did it in business
and he did it as governor. Right now, we need a proven job creator to
replace President Obama, who has failed in his number one priority of
turning around our economy. Mitt Romney has the experience, the plan,
and the vision to change the direction of our country. Texas and the
rest of the country deserve a leader like him.”
“I’m
extraordinarily proud to stand with Mitt Romney,” said Congressman Mac
Thornberry. “Texans have had enough of President Obama’s failed
policies and big government intrusion into our lives. Conservatives
need a candidate that will not only defeat Barack Obama, but implement
pro-growth policies that will scale back the size of government and
create jobs. For me, that candidate is Mitt Romney. He has unquestioned
experience creating jobs and building businesses. It is that real world
experience that we need in a president. That’s why I’m proud to stand
with Mitt and encourage my fellow Texas conservatives to join me.”
