ROBB THOMSON ENDORSES
MITT ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT
Boston, MA
– Mitt Romney today announced the support of New Hampshire community
leader and longtime Republican activist Robb Thomson.
“For
decades, Robb Thomson has been a leader in the fight to reduce
spending, cut taxes and promote economic growth in New Hampshire,” said
Mitt Romney. “I am honored to have his support and look forward to
working with Robb as I continue to campaign vigorously across the
Granite State.”
“Governor Romney understands, as my father did,
that low taxes are the result of low spending. He is the best candidate
to rein in reckless government spending, get our exploding deficits
under control and restore fiscal sanity to Washington,” said Thomson.
“In 2012, Republicans need to nominate a fiscally responsible leader
who can create jobs, turn around our economy and defeat Barack Obama.
That leader is Mitt Romney.”
