MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES
SUPPORT OF EXECUTIVE COUNCILOR CHRIS SUNUNU
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney
today announced the support of New Hampshire Executive Councilor Chris
Sununu (R-Newfields). Sununu joins Executive Councilors Ray Burton
(R-Bath), Dan St. Hilaire (R-Concord) and Ray Wieczorek (R-Manchester)
who have previously endorsed Governor Romney’s candidacy.
“Chris
Sununu comes from a family that is committed to public service and the
traditional New Hampshire principles of fiscal responsibility and
limited government. As an Executive Councilor, he has consistently
stood up for taxpayers by cutting state spending and fighting to
preserve the Granite State’s low tax environment,” said Mitt Romney. “I
am proud to have earned Councilor Sununu’s support and look forward to
campaigning with him across New Hampshire.”
“As he campaigns throughout New Hampshire, Mitt Romney
has demonstrated that he has the skills, the experience, and the
leadership needed to defeat President Obama and turn around our
economy. He knows how to create jobs, cut spending, reduce taxes and
promote the pro-growth policies that are needed to return America’s
prosperity,” said Councilor Sununu. “In 2012, Republicans need a leader
who can unite our Party and promote our fiscally conservative values.
That leader is Mitt Romney.”
