Boston, MA – Governor Mitt Romney today announced the names of the latest Florida Gulf Coast officials who are endorsing his candidacy for President of the United States. These leaders include St. Petersburg Councilman Bill Foster, Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard, Pasco County Commissioner Ann Hildebrand and Hernando County Commissioner David Russell, Jr.
"I am pleased to welcome these four respected leaders to our team in Florida. With their tremendous records of service in their communities, Bill, Frank, Ann and Dave bring a wealth of experience and commitment to our efforts, especially in this critical region," said Governor Romney.
