RELEASE: Romney Congratulates Nikki Haley on Primary Victory and Announces Additional South Carolina Endorsements

 

Today, Governor Mitt Romney issued the following statement on Nikki Haley’s primary runoff election victory last night:
 
“Against the longest of odds, Nikki Haley took on the political establishment and won. Nikki's conservative reform message resonated throughout the state of South Carolina because she is committed to fiscal discipline and is not tied to the old way of doing things. Putting her in the governor's office will represent real progress in the effort to control government spending and restore the free market principles that have built and guided our nation.”
 
Mitt Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC also announced three additional endorsements in South Carolina.  They are as follows:
 
Senator Jim DeMint:  Senator Jim DeMint currently serves the people of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate and is running for reelection.  For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.jimdemint.com.
 
State Senator Mick Mulvaney:  A current member of the South Carolina State Senate, businessman, and attorney, Mick Mulvaney is running to represent South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District.  For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.mulvaneyforcongress.com.
 
State Representative Tim Scott:  A current member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, Tim Scott is running to represent South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.  For more information about him and his campaign, visit www.votetimscott.com.
 
The PAC also announced that it is sending Scott’s Congressional campaign a $2,500 contribution, and that it has already contributed $5,000 to DeMint’s U.S. Senate campaign and $2,500 to Mulvaney’s Congressional campaign.
 
 “Instead of working to strengthen our economy, President Obama and the liberals in Congress are more interested in growing government.  Whether it's a costly stimulus bill, auto company bailouts, cap-and-trade, job-killing card check legislation, or a health care law that imposes higher taxes, cuts Medicare, and contains insurance price controls, they have come down on the side of big government over and over again.  That is why it is critical that we elect leaders like DeMint, Mulvaney, and Scott who will focus on getting 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, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida, and North Dakota.
 
Free and Strong America PAC:
 
            Mitt Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC (www.FreeStrongAmerica.com) supports officeholders and candidates who are dedicated to advancing social, fiscal and foreign policies that will strengthen America at this critical time in the nation’s history. The guiding focus is on the core principles that have built and nurtured America since its founding – uncompromised military strength, a belief in the power of free markets and that a competitive America is one where taxes are low and government is small, an emphasis on strong families and a federalist approach to government that leaves decision-making as close to the people as possible.
