MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES CONGRESSMAN CYNTHIA
LUMMIS AS WYOMING CAMPAIGN CHAIR
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced that Congressman Cynthia Lummis will be Chairman of his
Wyoming campaign.
“Congressman
Lummis has served Wyoming well for the past 30 years and I am honored
to have such a public servant leading my campaign in Wyoming,” said
Mitt Romney.
“Governor Romney’s
experience as both a chief executive and conservative businessman makes
him highly qualified to lead our nation at this time – a time when the
size and scope of the federal government threatens to overwhelm us,”
said Lummis.
“Recently,
he highlighted the spending mess that we are in and how we can avert an
economic crisis. The burdens now placed on small businesses and
working Americans, and those who want to work, seem unbearable. I
believe Mitt has emerged as the right person at the right time to lead
America. I am honored to serve as his Wyoming Chairman and look
forward to bringing his conservative message of fiscal responsibility
to voters in my state.”
