MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES CONGRESSMAN TIM GRIFFIN AS ARKANSAS CAMPAIGN
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBER OF NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the endorsement of Arkansas Congressman Tim Griffin. Griffin
will serve as the Arkansas Chairman of the Romney campaign and will
serve on the campaign's National Advisory Council.
“I am proud to announce Congressman Griffin’s support,” said Mitt
Romney. “Tim has been a leader in the fight to cut spending, reduce
burdensome regulations, and create an environment for businesses to
start hiring again. I look forward to working with him as I bring my
pro-growth message to Arkansans and voters across the country.”
Announcing his support, Congressman Griffin said, “President Obama's
policies have been categorical failures for our country. Unemployment
is over nine percent, our deficits are growing, and small businesses
are being burdened with regulations. In order for our country and
economy to get on the right track again, we need a leader who
understands how the real economy works and has the vision to
fundamentally change Washington. That leader is Mitt Romney. No other
candidate in the field possesses his lifetime of success in both the
private sector and as a governor. Whether it was turning around failing
companies, rescuing the Olympics, or improving the business climate in
Massachusetts, Mitt Romney has proven that he is ready to be president
on day one.”
