“Rather than focusing on turning our economy around and creating new jobs, too many of our leaders are instead pursuing a dangerous big-government, anti-growth agenda that will burden our children and grandchildren for years to come. This is why it is so important that we support leaders in Virginia – and across the country – who will stand up to higher taxes, higher spending, and higher debt, and fight to get our economy back on track,” said Romney.
These endorsements are another in a series of state rollouts of the PAC’s 2010 endorsements, which are aimed at electing conservative candidates who will work to lower taxes and spending, restore commonsense principles to healthcare and get our economy moving again. As part of this program, Romney’s PAC also has announced endorsements in Ohio, Missouri, California, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Nevada, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, Indiana, Idaho, and New Mexico.
