With his help, I look forward to bringing my message of a 'Simpler, Smaller, and Smarter' federal government to voters in North Carolina and across the nation."

Announcing his support, Senator Richard Burr said, "Governor Romney's proven leadership and his track record on issues of vital importance such as reducing government spending and creating jobs are exactly what we need to put Americans back to work, reduce our spending and address our national debt, and put our nation on the path to economic prosperity."
