Mitt Romney Endorses Lenny Curry in Jacksonville Mayoral Race

Former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., endorsed former Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chairman Lenny Curry in the runoff next month against Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown. Curry led the RPOF in the 2012 elections when Romney was the Republican candidate against President Barack Obama.

I have traveled our country working to advance conservative principles, and here in Florida Ive had a partner in Lenny Curry, Romney said on Tuesday. Lenny is committed to restoring conservative leadership to Jacksonville. As an accountant and business owner, his professional experiences make him the right person to deal with the citys finances. Lenny and his wife Molly have dedicated themselves to making Jacksonville a better place for their children and all families. I proudly support Lenny Curry, and ask all of Jacksonville to vote Lenny Curry for mayor.

Mitt Romney is a conservative leader with a passion to see America succeed, Curry said. In business and in public service, Gov. Romney has been a tireless advocate for freedom and prosperity. I am honored to have his support and endorsement, and I thank him for taking time to remind voters that conservative principles are the pathway to a better Jacksonville.
