- Governor Mitt Romney: They moved when Pancho Villa, in the early 1900s, was revolutionizing what was then northern Mexico in a contested area between the U.S. and Mexico. He moved to -- I think initially to Los Angeles and then moved to Idaho. His dad went bankrupt in Idaho. Then they moved to Salt Lake.
I think his dad went bankrupt again in Salt Lake City. His dad was a contractor, it was a very difficult time for construction and contracting. And pretty proud of my dad and his brothers. A big family, several brothers.
They paid back all the loans, all the debts that their family business had incurred before they went on to their own successful careers.
