The Seward County Republican Party met Friday night and unanimously endorsed the Republican nominee for President, Mitt Romney.

Seward County Republican Chairman Reid Petty said the group felt it was important to show their support for the party�??s nominee since the state went with Rick Santorum during the primary.

�??Many Republicans in Seward County voted for Santorum during the primary, but Mitt Romney is our nominee now and there is no question that he would be a much better president than Barack Obama,�?� Petty said.

The Seward GOP also agreed to have a fair booth and will provide information from any Republican candidate who is on the ballot in August or November. There will also be Romney lapel stickers and bumper stickers and a sign up list for Romney yard signs at the Seward GOP fair booth.

The local GOP also voted to donate $500 to State Senator Garret Love�??s campaign, as he is the only candidate who represents Seward County who doesn�??t have a primary challenger, but has a Democrat challenger in the General Election.
