MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF FORMER
U.S. SENATOR CONNIE MACK III
Boston, MA –
Mitt Romney today announced the endorsement of former Florida Senator
Connie Mack III. Senator Mack will serve on the campaign’s National
Advisory Council.
“I
am honored to receive Senator Mack’s support,” said Mitt Romney. “He
has long been a champion in the fight to reduce our deficit and balance
the budget. Senator Mack’s service to Floridians is long and
distinguished and I am thrilled to work with him to spread my
pro-growth message of reduced spending, a balanced budget, and job
creation.”
“Mitt
Romney’s conservative experience is unmatched,” said Senator Mack. “He
spent his career in the private sector turning around failing
businesses and creating jobs. As Governor, he turned around his state,
turning a $3 billion budget gap into a $2 billion rainy day fund, all
without raising taxes. Mitt Romney will provide America the leadership
we need to fix our economy, put Floridians and all Americans back to
work, and return us to a new era of prosperity and opportunity. I am
proud to support Mitt Romney for president.”
