Mitt Romney “does not intend to take a management position with the committee” in charge of the 2024 Summer Olympics bid for San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee’s adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told CNN.
Fehrnstrom said that Romney is willing to provide guidance to the committee. Romney, of course, is widely credited with saving the troubled 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Over the weekend, San Diego’s Democratic Mayor Bob Filner told the Associated Press that he was interested in bringing Romney on to lead the city’s joint bid with Tijuana.
