ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF NH SHERIFFS
ESTES AND MARCOU
Boston, MA –
Mitt Romney today announced the endorsements of New Hampshire Sheriffs
Wayne Estes (R-Strafford County) and Gerald Marcou (R-Coos County).
They join Sheriffs Mike Downing (R-Rockingham
County), Craig Wiggin (R-Belknap County), Michael Prozzo (R-Sullivan
County), Scott Hilliard (R-Merrimack County) and Douglas Dutile
(R-Grafton County) in supporting Governor Romney.
“I
am proud to have earned the endorsements of Sheriffs Estes and Marcou.
They are both outstanding New Hampshire officials and they will play
important roles in my strong New Hampshire campaign,” said Mitt Romney.
“I am grateful for their confidence and am pleased that they have
joined my campaign to cut taxes for the middle class, control
government spending and create jobs.”
“Governor
Romney is the only candidate who is putting in the time and effort that
Granite Staters expect from presidential candidates. He is running a
grassroots campaign and working hard to earn the support of every
voter,” said Sheriff Estes. “Mitt Romney has spent 25 years in the
private sector balancing budgets, growing companies and creating jobs.
He is the strongest Republican to take on President Obama because he
understands how our economy works and how to get our country back on

campaigning with him in New Hampshire.”
