Mitt Romney’s campaign Monday morning announced the support of Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus. In a statement, Romney said he is “proud” to have Niehaus’ support and that they share common values.
In the campaign release, Niehaus said:
“Ohioans are looking for a change in leadership. However, we cannot expect a creature of Washington to come in and change it. Mitt Romney is a conservative businessman who spent his life in the private sector. He owes nothing to special interests and his only ‘team’ is the American people. Ohio needs a bold leader who will restore our economy and bring jobs back to our state. Mitt Romney is that man and I am proud to support him. I urge my fellow conservatives who are looking for a fresh start with a true outsider to join me in standing with him.”
