MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF NORTH
CAROLINA REPRESENTATIVES
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of North Carolina Congressman Howard Coble,
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx and Congressman Patrick McHenry.
“It is an honor to have the support of these North Carolina public
servants,” said Mitt Romney. “North Carolina will be a critical state
in the contest to defeat President Obama. In the three years since
President Obama’s election, North Carolina has faced more hardship than
many other states. I will work with these leaders from the state to
help revitalize the economy and make North Carolina a leader in our
economic recovery.”
“Mitt Romney has been a successful leader his entire life,” said
Congressman Coble. “Whether it was business, the Winter Olympics, or as
governor, Mitt Romney has proven that he can turn around troubled
enterprises. Right now, North Carolina and the country need a leader to
engineer an economic turnaround.”
Announcing her support, Congresswoman Foxx said, “North Carolina has
suffered under President Obama’s policies. Burdensome regulations have
slowed the industries that turned North Carolina into a job-creating
machine. Mitt Romney has put forth a plan to get North Carolina and the
country on a path to prosperity once again. As a conservative
businessman, Mitt Romney has the economic know-how to change our
economy fundamentally. I am proud to support him.”
“After three years, President Obama has failed to deliver on his
promise to fix our economy,” said Congressman McHenry. “It is clear
that his overtaxing, overregulating and overspending are not the
prescription for our failing economy. Mitt Romney has an economic plan
that puts conservative principles in place to restart the economy and
put North Carolinians back to work. Mitt Romney is also Republicans’
best chance to defeat President Obama so that we can repeal Obamacare.
I look forward to working with him in his campaign to bring back jobs
to North Carolina and make our state a leader in job growth once again.”
