Governor Mary Fallin welcomed Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney to the Sooner State and promised
her "full endorsement and support" of the former Massachusetts
governor.
During a press conference Wednesday at the Oklahoma Republican
Party headquarters, Fallin praised Romney for his support of the
energy industry and "free-market principles."
Romney visited Oklahoma after making a stop earlier in the day
at an oil and gas company in Colorado. He was expected to attend a
fundraiser Wednesday evening with Harold Hamm, chairman and CEO of
Oklahoma City-based Continental Resources.
Romney finished second to Rick Santorum in Oklahoma’s March 6th
presidential primary, getting 28 percent of the vote to 34 percent
for Santorum.
