MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF NORTH
CAROLINA SENATOR RICHARD BURR
Boston, MA – Mitt Romney today
announced the support of North Carolina Senator Richard Burr.
“I am honored to have Senator Burr’s support,” said Mitt Romney.
“Senator Burr has been a consistent conservative who is committed to
lowering taxes, abolishing unnecessary regulations, and restoring our
nation’s fiscal health. With his help, I look forward to bringing my
message of a ‘Simpler, Smaller, and Smarter’ federal government to
voters in North Carolina and across the nation.”
Announcing his support, Senator Richard Burr said, “Governor Romney's
proven leadership and his track record on issues of vital importance
such as reducing government spending and creating jobs are exactly what
we need to put Americans back to work, reduce our spending and address
our national debt, and put our nation on the path to economic
prosperity.”
“The
lack of leadership from the current Administration has had a
devastating effect on our nation, our economy, and on American families
across the country,” continued Senator Burr. “Governor Romney
is a strong leader with a proven track record of addressing the most
pressing issues of our time – growing the economy and creating jobs for
American workers. I am proud to give him my support, and I am confident
he will be our next president.”
