Romney Campaign Press Release - Mitt Romney Announces Support of Former Pennsylvania Governor Mark Schweiker

Mitt Romney today announced the support of former Pennsylvania Governor Mark Schweiker.

"I'm proud to earn Mark's endorsement," said Mitt Romney. "Pennsylvania is a state with a long history of strong conservative leaders and Mark is no different. Like me, Mark spent most his life as a businessman who took what he learned in the real economy and used it to better serve his state. If elected, I hope to bring these same traits to Washington, D.C."

"As a businessman for much of my life, I can tell you that those in government don't have all the answers," said Governor Mark Schweiker. "We need a leader who has spent his life solving problems in the real world. Mitt Romney fits that description perfectly. He spent his life as a conservative businessman — creating jobs and actually balancing budgets. If Americans are looking for someone who knows how to get this economy growing again and who will instill a vision to make our country more prosperous, they need to look no farther than him. I am proud to stand with Mitt Romney and encourage Pennsylvanians to join me."
