Mitt Romney Unveils Support of Michigan Congressman Dave Camp

Michigan is expected to go strong for Republican presidential hopeful former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts as hisfather served as governor of the state.

Romney added to his team in Michigan on Tuesday when he unveiled the backing of veteran Congressman Dave Camp.

I am so honored to earn Daves support, Romney said in a statement. For years, Dave has a been a respected conservative leader in the House and shares my vision of fighting out-of-control spending, making entitlements more sustainable, and working to restore our nations fiscal health. I look forward to working with Dave in the months ahead to spread this message both to our home state of Michigan and the entire country.

No candidate in this race will be more committed to getting Michigan on a path to recovery than Mitt Romney, who was born and raised here," Camp said. For the last three years, our country has seen growing debt, rising unemployment, and a middle class weakened by President Obamas failed policies. We need a leader who understands the economic challenges America faces. Whether it was during his time in the real economy, saving the Winter Olympics or pulling Massachusetts out of a massive budget deficit, Mitt Romney has proven time and again that he can turn around troubled enterprises. He is the conservative candidate who will reverse President Obamas failed policies and rebuild the middle class. I am proud to stand with him.
