MITT ROMNEY
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney
today announced the support of Manchester, NH Mayor Ted Gatsas. Gatsas,
a former New Hampshire State Senate President, will endorse Governor
Romney at Chez Vachon in Manchester on Monday.
“Ted
Gatsas is an outstanding mayor and a dedicated public servant. As a
successful entrepreneur, Ted understands the challenges facing small
business owners, and he has supported pro-growth policies that will
help them create jobs,” said Governor Romney.
“I am proud to have earned Ted’s support and am honored to have him
join my campaign to cut taxes, jump start our economy and restore
fiscal sanity in Washington.”
Announcing his support of Governor Romney, Mayor Gatsas said, “Mitt
Romney
has the skills and the executive experience that the next president
will need to turn around our struggling economy. After spending 25
years in the private sector as a successful businessman, Mitt knows how
to balance budgets, fix broken enterprises and create jobs. He is also
the strongest Republican candidate with the best organization to take
on President Obama in 2012,” said Mayor Gatsas. “I am also impressed
with the time and effort that he has invested in New Hampshire. Mitt is
running the type of traditional grassroots campaign that Granite
Staters expect from presidential candidates and he is working hard to
