Boston, MA – Today, Governor Mitt Romney announced the Romney for President Massachusetts Steering Committee.  Led by statewide chairs former Lt.

Announcing the Massachusetts Steering Committee, Governor Romney said, "The people of Massachusetts have always had a powerful and passionate voice in our government.  The members of this committee are all leaders dedicated to strengthening our state and our nation.  Like we did in the State House, I look forward to working with this team to bring conservative change to Washington."
