Romney Touts Beauprez Leadership; Beauprez Promises Stronger Colorado

Press Release

Former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney today made the case to Coloradans to elect Bob Beauprez as a stronger, more decisive governor for Colorado.

At an event held at Heritage High School in Littleton for Bob Beauprez' campaign for governor of Colorado, featuring several statewide and congressional candidates for office, former Massachusetts governor and Presidential candidate Mitt Romney contrasted Beauprez' leadership style to that of incumbent John Hickenlooper.

"There's one governor that stands out for indecisiveness," Romney said, speaking to Hickenlooper's infamous record of indecision on issues ranging from the Keystone Pipeline to the execution of convicted mass murderer Nathan Dunlap. "He's had a hard time figuring out what kind of a business development plan, to create new jobs -- better jobs -- might look like. As a matter of fact he calls his plan 'TBD' -- To Be Determined."

Also featured at the rally was Lt. Governor Candidate Jill Repella, who introduced Romney and spoke of the state's need for stronger leadership and fresh idea's.

"Folks, leadership matters," Repella said. "Unfortunately, our opposition puts forth John Hickenlooper, Mark Udall, Barack Obama. All they can do is put forth weak men with bad ideas. I'm tired of it."

After his introduction by Governor Romney, Bob outlined his plan for restoring economic security to Colorado by empowering Coloradans. "Instead of the 2,000 new regulations that John Hickenlooper has imposed on you, instead of the 100,000 pages between the federal government and the state government of regulation that gets dumped on your head, we're going to freeze all non-essential regulation." said Beauprez. "We're going to invite you to help us with this audit of government, turn the tables on government, audit it for a change, and invite you to tell us, where is government getting in your way? And if it's anti-job, anti-liberty, anti-opportunity, anti-believing in you then we're going to grab it by the roots, we're going to rip it out, and we're going to throw it away."

"We're going to become that great opportunity state again," Beauprez continued. "The kind of state that was big enough for all of our dreams; in fact Colorado's been big enough to fulfill dreams we never even imagined dreaming. That's the kind of state we've always been, hasn't it?"
