Governor Mitt Romney is currently the Governor of Massachusetts, and is running for President of the United States of America. Governor Romney is 59 years old, and is married to Ann Romney, and has been for 37 years. Together the couple has five sons, and nine grandchildren. Mitt grew up just outside Detroit in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and is the son of George Romney who was the 43rd Governor of Michigan. Mitt Romney served a two and a half year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in France when he was nineteen years old. He attended Stanford University, Brigham Young University, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Business School, and received his joint Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration with highest honors in many of these schools. In 1978, Romney became the vice president of Bain & Company, Inc., and in 1984, he left the company to make a private equity investment firm, Bain Capital, and he helped save companies such as Dominos, Brookstone, Sports Authority, Staples, and Sealy Corporation by investing or buying them, and as a result, he helped save millions of jobs. In the 90s, Governor Romney returned to Bain & Co. as CEO, and rescued it from a huge fall, and reorganized company. Less than a year later, Romney had turned the company around, and saved millions of jobs again.

He is a supporter of free market economics, and limited government, and has a plan to get the country out of its economic mess.
Romney also believes in preserving the values that make America “the hope of the earth” . He believes in family values. He is pro life, and anti Gay Marriage. He stated: “you strengthen the American people, by strengthening the American family, marriage, must come before children, because every child deserves a mother and a father”. He stands for making children our priority and raising the bar on our education system. He promotes parental involvement in schools, and fights for paying teachers well, and teaching children in English to make them successful in America. When he was governor of Massachusetts, his students scored the highest in the nation on all four educational exams as a result of his plans.
He opposes amnesty for illegals, and believes in securing our borders. He also wants to implement an employer verification system, so that legal immigrants can take the jobs of those who other
