Mitt Romney Gets Endorsements from Four Florida Republicans

As he continued to campaign and fundraise in the Sunshine State on Thursday, former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts -- the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination -- announced the support of three Florida congressmen and one of the leading figures of the state Senate.

Romney won the backing of Ander Crenshaw, Connie Mack and Tom Rooney. He also won the formal endorsement of state Sen. John Thrasher of Jacksonville. All of them had backed Romneys previous bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and Romney had helped all of them with their fundraising in the 2010 election cycle.

I am proud to have the support of these Florida leaders, said Romney. They share my goals of creating jobs, getting our exploding deficits under control, and reversing President Obamas failed policies.

President Obamas policies have failed Florida and the American people, said Mack. Mitt Romney has the experience to lead a much-needed economic recovery. He has created jobs, balanced budgets, and cut taxes.
