MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF CALIFORNIA
CONGRESSMEN JERRY LEWIS, KEN CALVERT & BRIAN BILBRAY
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the endorsement of California Congressmen Jerry Lewis, Ken
Calvert and Brian Bilbray.
“I am proud to earn the support of three great leaders in California,”
said Mitt Romney.
“I am looking forward to working with them to move this country forward
and ensure Californians and all Americans get working again.”
Announcing his support, Congressman Lewis said “Mitt Romney
has the conservative credentials to lead our economy out of this
recession. His experience in the business world gives him a keen
understanding of our economy and of job creation. He is the best
prepared to take on President Obama and turn around our economy.”
Announcing his support, Congressman Calvert said, “Governor Romney
will be a steady and reliable commander of the ship of state and is the
right man to manage critical but tight defense budgets and lead an
American and global recovery. Governor Romney’s private and public
sector experience make him the best equipped candidate to defeat
President Obama in 2012.”
“Governor Romney’s
leadership and experience are what this country needs right now.
President Obama’s failures are wreaking havoc on the economy and we
need a leader who can fix the fiscal mess we are in and create jobs,”
said Congressman Bilbray. “I also believe that Mitt Romney will be the
best candidate to secure the border and put a halt to illegal
immigration.”
