“John
Gallus has been a leader in the fight to protect the New Hampshire
Advantage and has served as a strong voice in Concord for the North
Country,” said Mitt Romney. “John understands
that in order to return fiscal sanity to Washington, our government
needs to cut spending and live within its means. I am proud to have
earned his support and look forward to campaigning with him across the
North Country.”
“In
2012 Republicans need to nominate a candidate who can defeat President
Obama and reverse the damage caused by his disastrous fiscal policies.
Over the past several months, Governor Romney
has clearly demonstrated that he is the most qualified candidate and
the strongest Republican to take on the President,” said Senator
Gallus. “As a successful businessman and a fiscally conservative
governor, Mitt knows how to balance a budget and fix our broken
economy. I am proud to support Mitt’s campaign and will work to ensure
that he has the support needed to win the primary.”
