Senator Kelly Ayotte to endorse Mitt Romney

U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte will back Mitt Romney for President on Sunday in the first endorsement of a Republican presidential hopeful by a member of the state's congressional delegation.

The New Hampshire Sunday News and UnionLeader.com have learned that the freshman lawmaker will formally endorse the former Massachusetts governor Sunday at 2:30 p.m. when she appears with him at a rally at Nashua City Hall. They will then visit nearby Jackie's Diner to meet with voters.

The full story is HERE.

UPDATE!!

From Ayotte's Official Press Release:
First, it is imperative that Republicans nominate our strongest candidate to face President Obama. Mitt Romney has proven not only through his prior experience as a successful businessman and governor, but also through his solid campaign and excellent debate performances, that he is that candidate. We cannot afford another four years of a president who continues to bankrupt America and whose policies hurt the very job creators who can get our economy growing again. We can no longer sit on the sidelines and continue to listen to divisive rhetoric which divides our nation. Mitt Romney will be a strong leader who will unite America. With his strong qualifications and executive leadership experience, he will put America on the path to fiscal responsibility to make sure that we don't continue to crush our children with mountains of debt. Mitt Romney not only eliminated a $3 billion deficit as Massachusetts Governor, he also cut taxes 19 times. And unlike President Obama, Governor Romney has spent most of his career in the private sector and knows how to create good jobs.

Second, Mitt Romney is not only committed to building a stronger economy, but he also believes, as I do, in stronger American leadership abroad. He will remain vigilant in the fight against al Qaeda and Islamist terrorists, and his national security decisions will be based on advice from our military commanders - not political polls. With a rising China and persistent nuclear threats from rogue nations, we need Governor Romney's strong, steady leadership to vigorously protect American interests. I trust Mitt Romney to keep our country safe in a dangerous world.

Third, I believe Governor Romney will run a campaign against President Obama that is serious, substantive, and one we can be proud of.

Hmm I wonder if this now will get her the RINO label, and establishment blah blah blah....

Ohio JOE said...

She may be quasi-establishment, but she is no RINO, this is a good endorsement for Mr. Romney to have.

Terrye said...

This is good for Romney.

Terrye said...

Anonymous...they will call her establishment just because she is a Senator...as if they were not all shilling for someone else to win an election and become part of that so-called establishment..

Without Sarah Palin, Ayotte would not be a US Senator.

and had palin been in the race, ayotte still would have endorsed romney over her.

at least she has the guts to do so, unlike demint who caved to some in the TP...now wait for those other RINO's like rubio, jeb, allen and others to endorse romney.

Ohio JOE said...

"and had palin been in the race, ayotte still would have endorsed romney over her." Now that is funny. Too much to drink last night?

Those people that come out and endorse a candidate put up lots of political capital. Since 3/4 of the NH Republican Party has endorsed Romney it is hard for me to understand any poll that shows Mitt has lost 15% of his backing in less then a week. That Newt has picked up all that Mitt lost plus some. Something was definately wrong with that poll. Especially since nothing has happened on either side to create such a loss. This endorsement proves the NH is a Mitt Romney state.

wasnt she one of palin's mama grizzly's?

Am I wrong, or didn't Romney SUPPORT Ayotte in her Senate race with both money and campaigning? I'm not sure that Palin is the ONLY reason Ayotte won the seat in New Hampshire. Sorry for your disappointment, RW.

Not to be a smart alex, I am not sure whether Mr. Romney supported her in the primary or not. She was not the only good candidate in the race, but she certainly was acceptable, no I have no problem with Mrs. Palin supporting her and I have no problem with Mr. Romney if he supported her or not. I admitted that she is a good person to have on board so I do not know what more to say.

I was referring to the earlier comments about how Palin would have been the one endorsed by Ayotte, if SP had run. I simply made the comment that Romney had also been involved in Ayotte's campaign, so no one will ever know who would have been chosen had Palin run.
