Tim Pawlenty Endorses Mitt Romney for President

"Mitt Romney is fighting for the same things I fought for as governor and during my campaign for president," said Governor Pawlenty. "As a former blue state governor, I appreciate what Mitt was able to do in Massachusetts. He created jobs and balanced his budgets without raising taxes – even with an over eighty percent Democrat legislature."

"That ability to get things done is what we need in our nominee," said Governor Pawlenty. "In addition, he has a background which is unmatched – his understanding of the private sector proves he knows how jobs are created which will be critical in turning our economy around. I am proud to endorse his candidacy for president of the United States."
