MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SENATOR NORM COLEMAN AS SPECIAL ADVISER
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney
today announced that former Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman will serve
as a Special Adviser on Policy.
“I
am happy to announce Senator Coleman as an adviser to my campaign,”
said Mitt Romney. “His advice will be critical as I lay out my vision
for improving our economy at home and strengthening our partnerships
around the world.”
“The
United States is facing an important moment in our nation’s history,”
said Senator Coleman. “Whether it is turning around our struggling
economy or maintaining our relationships with international allies, the
next President must have the experience and leadership to keep America
strong at home and abroad. Electing someone who has not been tested by
the fire of experience results in failure. The last three years have
proven that. Throughout his life, Mitt Romney has displayed the
leadership that will be needed to get our economy back on track and to
preserve, and in some cases mend, our relationships with allies around
the world. As a strong supporter of Israel, I am also confident that he
is the best candidate to restore America’s relationship with Israel.”
