Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the endorsement of New Hampshire House Majority Leader D.J.
Bettencourt.
“I
am proud to have the support of Majority Leader Bettencourt,” said Mitt
Romney. “He shares my goals of creating jobs, balancing our budgets and
reversing President Obama’s failed policies. I look forward to working
with him as I campaign across the Granite State spreading my pro-growth
message.”

As governor, he created jobs, kept spending low, and cut taxes. As head

that will be critical to leading an economic recovery. I have known
Governor Romney for several years and am extremely confident that he is
