MITT
ROMNEY ANNOUNCES GOVERNOR BOB EHRLICH AS CHAIRMAN AND RNC COMMITTEEMAN
LOUIS POPE AS CO-CHAIR OF MD CAMPAIGN
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced former Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich as Chairman of his
Maryland campaign and RNC National Committeeman Louis Pope as Co-Chair.
“I am proud to have the support of Bob Ehrlich,” said Mitt Romney. “As
Governor of Maryland, he oversaw a drop in unemployment, balanced the
budget, and said ‘no’ to tax increases. He understands that
President Obama’s over-spending has failed to get voters in Maryland
and across the country back to work. I am glad to have Bob’s help in my
efforts to put our economy on the path to recovery.”
“After studying all the candidates, it is clear that Republicans’ best
chance for beating President Obama next November is Mitt Romney,” said
former Governor Bob Ehrlich. “Mitt Romney is the only candidate with
the necessary experience to turn around our failing economy. He has
laid out a comprehensive economic plan that will restart the economy
beginning day one. Republicans can’t afford to let President Obama have
four more years to spend trillions of dollars, burden small businesses,
and fail to create jobs.”
“Maryland voters are tired of the failures and excuses from this
administration,” said National Committeeman Louis Pope. “They want a
president who will make job creation his number one priority. Mitt
Romney has worked in the private sector for 25 years and knows how jobs
are created. He is the only candidate who will be able to fix the
fiscal and economic mess that the next president will inherit.”
