Former Massachusetts Gov. and presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be in Albuquerque today for a fundraiser for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Steve Pearce, but before that he’s appearing at a news conference with Pearce in Santa Fe.
“Romney has been a strong supporter of the Pearce campaign, even appearing at a breakfast fundraiser for him during the GOP convention while Steve attended his father’s funeral last month,” a news release from the Pearce campaign states. “The former Massachusetts governor and businessman is known for turning deficits into surpluses and respects Steve Pearce for his dedication to the same kind of fiscal responsibility.”
Romney praised Pearce in the news release.
“America faces a new generation of challenges. At this critical time in our nation’s history, Steve Pearce is determined to fight for conservative policies that will strengthen America at home and around the world,” Romney said. “Now more than ever, we need Steve Pearce’s leadership in the U.S. Senate for our families and for a strong and prosperous future.”
The press event will be held at Garcia’s Tires in Santa Fe at 3:30 p.m. The location was chosen because of Guadalupe Garcia’s “dedication to hard work, even through tough economic times,” the release states.
The fundraiser is being held beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Albuquerque home of car dealer Ken Zangara and his wife Kathy. To RSVP, call (575) 492-9383 or e-mail andreatodd6@aol.com.
