Romney endorses Armstrong

Sixth Congressional District Republican candidate Wil Armstrong picked up his most high-profile supporter to date on Tuesday, winning the endorsement of former Massachusetts Gov. and possible VP candidate Mitt Romney.

"Washington is broken and Wil Armstrong is the best man to fix it," Romney said in a statement.

"Wil Armstrong is a career businessman, not a career politician," Romney continued in the statement. "It is that real-world experience that Washington so desperately needs today. He has dealt with complex business situations and forged solutions during both the highs and lows of an unstable economy.

"For the same reason I decided to enter public service, Wil Armstrong is doing the same," Romney, who spent years in the private sector, said in the statement. "People who have spent their careers outside Washington creating jobs and running enterprises can bring a unique perspective to Washington. It is a voice and perspective with which we need to hear more."
