Romney Campaign Press Release - Mitt Romney Announces Congressman Cynthia Lummis as Wyoming Campaign Chair

Mitt Romney today announced that Congressman Cynthia Lummis will be Chairman of his Wyoming campaign.

"Congressman Lummis has served Wyoming well for the past 30 years and I am honored to have such a public servant leading my campaign in Wyoming," said Mitt Romney.

The burdens now placed on small businesses and working Americans, and those who want to work, seem unbearable. I believe Mitt has emerged as the right person at the right time to lead America. I am honored to serve as his Wyoming Chairman and look forward to bringing his conservative message of fiscal responsibility to voters in my state."
