MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF MICHIGAN
CONGRESSMAN MIKE ROGERS
Boston,
MA –
Mitt Romney today announced the support of Michigan Congressman Mike
Rogers, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence. Congressman Rogers will serve as Special Adviser for
National Security Policy.
“Congressman
Rogers’ work as a leader on national security issues has been important
to the safety of our country,” said Mitt Romney. “Standing up to
terrorists around the world, stopping Iran’s nuclear program, and
maintaining our relationships with our allies will require the
leadership that Congressman Rogers has displayed. I look forward to
working with him both in this campaign and in Washington so that we can
bring jobs back to our home state and keep our country secure.”
“Mitt
Romney has displayed the conservative leadership throughout this
campaign and his life that will be needed to fix our economy and
maintain America’s standing as the most powerful country in the world,”
said Congressman Rogers. “I am confident that Michigan will be on Mitt
Romney’s mind every day he is President and he will work hard to get
Michigan back on track. Mitt Romney’s plan to restore our country’s
fiscal health is important not just for economic growth, but is also
vital for our nation’s national security interests. An America that
faces economic and budget problems will not be able to project power
across the world or contain countries and groups who wish to harm us
and our allies.”
