MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF ALABAMA
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE MIKE HUBBARD
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard as Co-Chairman of
the Alabama Leadership Team and Chairman of the Alabama Legislative
Steering Committee.
“It’s an honor to have the Speaker’s support. In 2010, his leadership
as Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party resulted in Republicans
winning every statewide race, reclaiming a congressional seat and, most
impressively, putting both houses of the Alabama Legislature in a
Republican majority for the first time in 136 years,” said Romney. “I’m
looking forward to working with Speaker Hubbard and my entire Alabama
team to bring my plan for economic recovery and job creation to Alabama
and the country.”
Announcing his support, Speaker Hubbard said, “Governor Romney is the
leader we need to guide our country through an economic recovery. His
private sector experience uniquely qualifies him to understand how to
create jobs and grow business. I’m excited to be a member of his team
and look forward to helping spread his conservative message across
Alabama.”
