“At a time when our economy is struggling, we need a serious leader who understands how to grow the private sector, not the government. President Obama’s job-killing regulations have failed to get millions of unemployed Americans back to work. From his time as a businessman, Mitt Romney knows what it takes to create jobs and economic growth. As Governor of Massachusetts, he applied his conservative free market principles to government and it worked: he was able to balance the budget without raising taxes, leaving office with a sizable Rainy Day Fund. Washington needs this kind of leadership today.”
Congressman Rogers:
“Governor Romney is the right man for the job in the White House,” said Congressman Hal Rogers. “We need proven leadership to get our economy back on track and spur real job creation in the Commonwealth. At the hands of President Obama, Kentucky has been besieged by burdensome red-tape, out-of-control bureaucracies, and ill-advised bailouts left to our children to finance. Kentucky and our country cannot afford to continue on this path. Instead, Mitt Romney has laid out a comprehensive economic plan that gets Main Street rolling again, lessens the tax burden on working families and encourages small business growth and innovation to create real, private sector jobs. His successful business and government experience leave Mitt well prepared to tackle the economic and security challenges ahead. I am proud to support him.”
“WASHINGTON, DC.--U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05) offered the following statement today in support of Mitt Romney's candidacy for the President in 2008.
“ "I first met Mitt Romney when he was running the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. In addition to overseeing all the thousands of details that came with the job, he proved homeland security could work in America. He took charge of one of the nation's largest security mobilization efforts just months after September 11th.
“ "As Governor of Massachusetts, he based his agenda on proven conservative principles: smaller government, lower taxes, defending the traditional family, and keeping our citizens safe and secure.
“ "We are in a difficult moment in our Nation's history, but one that also holds great promise to improve our country for years to come. We need a President who can lead the way forward and protect our Nation's gains on homeland security and the war on terrorism. We need a president who continues the great conservative traditions in this era of brutal global competitiveness - focusing on top priorities of growing the economy, expanding health insurance and improving education.
“ "He is the right man for the job - a President who will make America stronger on all fronts." ”
“Making today's announcement, Secretary of State Trey Grayson said, "Governor Mitt Romney is the only candidate in this race who has the leadership experience, strong values and vision to lead our country forward. Mitt Romney's campaign is about making our country stronger by creating a strong military, strong economy and strong families. He understands the need to bring Washington back to the conservative principles that are important to voters in our state. The people of Kentucky can be proud of Mitt Romney as President of the United States...
“ "As 2008 draws near, I am often asked by Republicans, Democrats and Independents who would be the best President," remarked Grayson. "I think Kentuckians should know where I stand and who I believe is best suited to lead our country. I hope that my endorsement encourages many Kentuckians to give serious consideration to Governor Romney and his strong record of achievement." ”
“At least some of the major candidates have significant endorsements from state leaders. GOP Congressmen Jim McCrery, Richard Baker and Rodney Alexander have all endorsed Mitt Romney.”
Congressman Alexander said, “Our nation needs Mitt Romney now more than ever. Louisiana voters are looking for someone who will get Americans back to work. Mitt has a very strong business record and a pro-growth message that will be essential to improving our economy. I am proud to stand with him in his bid for president.”
“Governor Romney’s strong victory last night shows that Republicans of all stripes are uniting behind his campaign and his bold economic plan is just what Louisiana needs. By lowering taxes and reducing burdensome regulations, Louisiana small businesses will flourish and our energy sector will help us become less reliant on foreign oil. I support Governor Romney because our country can’t afford four more years of President Obama and his failed policies, and we need Governor Romney to turn things around. I urge all Louisianans who want a conservative businessman and proven leader in the White House to support Mitt Romney on Saturday.”
“Conservatives looking to win in November and replace President Obama’s failed policies with a pro-growth agenda should look no further than Mitt Romney. His plan to fix our economy will get Washington out of the way of the private sector and his plans to use our energy resources at home will create jobs right here in Louisiana. I am proud to support Mitt Romney and I urge Louisianans who are tired of the policies coming from Washington to support him on Saturday.”
“Louisianans are fed up with the failures of the last three years and they want a change in Washington,” said Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Mike Strain. “Mitt Romney has turned around businesses, saved the Olympics from scandal, and balanced the budget as governor without raising taxes. These are the kinds of results that Louisianans want in our next leader. I support Mitt Romney because we need a president with job-creation experience in order to fix our economy and bring jobs back. I hope that Louisianans also want an experienced leader and will support Mitt on Saturday.”
“Louisiana conservatives are supporting Mitt Romney because he is the only candidate who can defeat President Obama and put in place conservative, pro-growth policies that will fix our economy,” said State Senator Conrad Appel. “In order to repeal Obamacare, cut spending, and reduce burdensome regulation, we must have a proven, conservative leader with a record of results. That is why I support Mitt Romney and why so many in Louisiana are supporting his campaign.”
