Romney stops in Chester Township
(Below is a quick recap of what happened during Mitt Romney's visit in Delco today.
... Be sure to read tomorrow's edition of the Daily Times for more details.)
During a campaign stop in Delaware County Monday, Republican
Mitt Romney laid out reasons why he believes be would do a better job than
President Barack Obama.
The former Massachusetts governor
said Obama has been “anti-job, anti-investment and anti-growth,” during his term
as president.
Romney was
joined by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Pa., during a stop at Mustang Expediting, an
expedited trucking business based in Chester
Township .
Though
Romney faces Texas Congressman Ron Paul and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
in the primary election tomorrow, he focused all his energy on Obama.
Romney
pledged to repeal Obama’s federal health care law and the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Romney
criticized the president, saying the nation’s unemployment rate has hovered
near 8 percent during his time in office.
“I think
young voters of this country have to vote for me,” Romney said, arguing that
there has been an increase in the percentage of college graduates who can’t
find work during Obama’s presidency.
Several other elected officials
from the area, including U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan, R-7, of Upper
Darby , were at the event to show support for Romney.
“We know Barack Obama inherited a
bad economy,” said Meehan. “But through his leadership and failed policies he
has made it much, much worse.”
This was not the first time that
Romney stopped in Delaware
County . He made his first
campaign stop in the county – and Pennsylvania
– earlier this month at the Iron Shop in Marple.
