Mitt Romney Campaigns for Tom Cotton in North Little Rock

Press Release

Mitt Romney: "By electing Tom Cotton, you're going to see a different direction taken in America."

Former GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney campaigned alongside U.S. Senate candidate Tom Cotton Thursday in North Little Rock. At a press event Thursday morning, Romney told members of the press that he's supporting Cotton because Cotton will stand up to President Obama and Harry Reid and take the U.S. Senate in a conservative new direction.

Romney said: "I don't think the President or Harry Reid understand what it takes to get this economy going and put people back to work. They've had their chance over the last six years, and their recovery has just not done the job for the people of Arkansas. Tom Cotton understands what it takes to get people back to work."

Tom Cotton thanked Governor Romney, saying: "Arkansans understand the Obama agenda is not working for them, which is why they voted overwhelmingly for Governor Romney four years ago. But Senator Pryor doesn't represent their views and values and has voted over 90% of the time with President Obama. I'll be a Senator who actually puts Arkansas first and doesn't just say it."

Governor Romney also spoke on behalf of Cotton at a fundraiser in Little Rock on Thursday morning.
