Ann Romney Visits Amherst

Ann Romney spoke about the importance of family and her confidence in her husband during a meet and greet at an Amherst residence this evening.

Mrs. Romney met supporters at the home of Lisa and Karl Hansen on The Flume in Amherst. Speaking in their living room, Romney talked about the love for her country and the need to go in another direction.

“You have to turn around America, said Romney.

She said she has “one hundred percent confidence” that her husband will become president and tackle the country’s economic problems. She cited his extensive business experience with companies like Staples and Burger King, along with his work organizing the 2002 Olympic Games in Utah.

Sharing stories of her family and their experience in the campaign, Romney said that her husband always put business secondary to family. However, she said that he will do his best to succeed in leading both his family and the country.

She said that people are most concerned about jobs, and her husband has the most experience in creating good jobs.

“If [voters] are concerned about jobs, this election is critical,” said Romney.
