Gov. Bryant and Chairman Nosef Issue Statements On Presidential Election

JACKSON- Governor Phil Bryant and Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef released the following statements on the Presidential election:

“While the election did not turn out the way I had hoped it would, I will work with our Congressional delegation to oppose any job-killing measures and tax increases imposed by President Obama’s administration,” Gov. Phil Bryant said. “Throughout the campaign, Gov. Romney discussed a new direction for America, one that included job growth and higher take home pay. I appreciate Gov. Romney’s leadership and his commitment to restore our country.”

“The American people have spoken and President Obama has been reelected,” Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef said. “While this is not the result we wanted, we do respect it. We are proud of the campaign Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan ran and how they fought for us. This was a long and tough campaign, but today we need to come together as one nation and solve the many big issues that our country faces."
