Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has endorsed Jennifer Horn's congressional campaign.

Romney called Horn a "fresh face who understands the struggles of families across New Hampshire."

Horn (R-Nashua) is challenging U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord) in the 2nd Congressional District.

"Jennifer will go to Congress and fight for New Hampshire instead of special interests," Romney said in a press release.  "Congress needs to start working towards solutions to fix the economy, reduce excessive government spending, and make America energy independent, and that begins with electing Jennifer Horn!"

Horn said she was "honored" to have Romney's support.

"I am honored to have the support of Governor Romney in campaign to retire Paul Hodes," Horn added. "His experience traveling across New Hampshire listening to voters will be a great will be a asset to my campaign to bring real change to Washington.  Mitt understands that we suffer when Congress is beholden to special interests instead of us."
