Mitt Romney Endorses Bill Dew for Congress

Boston, MA – Today, Mitt Romney endorsed Bill Dew, Republican candidate for the 2nd Congressional District.

“I’m proud to endorse Bill Dew for Congress. He’ll fight for the people of Utah by promoting policies that will strengthen our economy, keep taxes low and help us to achieve the goal of energy independence,” said Romney. “Bill Dew’s successful background as a business leader will give him a unique perspective as our nation confronts a new generation of challenges.”

Bill Dew was pleased to receive the endorsement. “At this critical time when our economy is crippled by the credit crisis and high energy costs, I am honored to have Mitt Romney’s support and endorsement. We agree on what is needed to fix Washington and Wall Street,” said Bill Dew. “Mitt Romney knows what it takes to turn around a problem, having done it here in Salt Lake and in Massachusetts, and he knows what it will take in Washington.”

Mitt Romney, a former Republican candidate for president, served as Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. Prior to that, he led the 2002 Winter Olympics as the head of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. A graduate of Brigham Young University, he and his wife, Ann, have a home in Park City, Utah.

Currently, Romney is Honorary Chairman of the Free and Strong America PAC, which supports officeholders and candidates who are dedicated to advancing social, fiscal and foreign policies that will strengthen America.

“America is at a turning point,” said Romney. “We need conservative leadership in Washington that believes in the principles of family, patriotism and freedom that have helped guide and build our nation. I know that Bill Dew will take the lead in protecting and defending those values.”
