Mitt Romney touts Delbert Hosemann’s endorsement
Feb 21,2012 – Mitt Romney announced the support of Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.
“I’m proud to gain Delbert’s support,” said Mitt Romney. “The people of Mississippi are looking for a change in leadership in Washington. Delbert shares my values of cutting spending, shrinking the size of government, and instituting pro-growth economic policies. In the months to come, I plan to spread this same message throughout the state of Mississippi.”
Announcing his support, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said, “The Republican Party primaries have narrowed the field to four candidates. Each one has unique strengths and is an asset to the future of our country. However, only one can be president. Considering the economic and security issues facing our country, I believe that person is Mitt Romney, and I will support his nomination by the Republican Party for president.
“Our country and our state face economic issues and healthcare issues, and our servicemen and women continue to depart overseas to defend our country. Our current governmental course does not provide a needed solution to our nation’s issues. Of the remaining candidates, Mitt Romney possesses the character and skill to provide the greatest opportunity for that solution.”
