Former St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker will serve as “senior adviser on urban policy” for Mitt Romney’s national campaign, the Tampa Bay Times reports:
“Mitt Romney is the strongest Republican candidate and he is the only person capable of defeating Barack Obama in 2012,“ Baker said in a statement. “Mitt Romney has the experience, the vision and the commitment to conservative values that our Republican nominee will need to draw bold contrasts with the President’s failed, big government agenda. It is an honor to join his team and I look forward to working to ensure that he is elected the next President of the United States.”
