“I
am proud to announce my Montana State Finance leadership team,” said
Mitt Romney. “With their help, we will be able to defeat President

again. Montana can be a leader in our economic recovery if we are able
to utilize the state’s energy resources and encourage small business
growth.”

Governor Romney’s team in Montana. We look forward to working with him
and his campaign to raise the resources needed to defeat President

play a vital role in our country’s economic recovery. The oil, gas,
coal, timber and mining resources we develop in Montana are critical to
