Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the endorsement of Florida political leader Susie Wiles.
Wiles will serve as a Co-Chair of Romney for President’s Florida
Advisory Council.
“On
the issues that I have been fighting for in my campaign, Susie has been
a leader and advocate in Florida and across the country for years,”
said Mitt Romney. “The addition of Susie to my
Florida campaign adds to a growing and strong campaign team. With her
support and the hard work of my Florida team, we will defeat President
Obama, fix our nation’s economy, stop the growth of government, and
bring jobs back to Florida. I am proud to have her support.”
Announcing
her support, Susie Wiles said, “As this campaign has progressed, I have
had an opportunity to observe each of the candidates and it is clear to
me that one candidate stands out from the rest: Mitt Romney.
Governor Romney
is a conservative businessman who knows what it takes to turn our
economy around. He has demonstrated the stability, intellect and
integrity that Republicans are looking for in their standard bearer.
And perhaps most importantly, he will take the battle to President
Obama's doorstep and ensure that Barack Obama is a one term president.”
