Governor Mitt Romney Military Press Releases

  • “With these extensions to the Massachusetts Military Reservation leases, we are ensuring the continued presence of the United States military – a major contributor of jobs and revenues to the Cape’s economy and a key component of our homeland defense network,” said Romney. “At the same time, we are protecting the region’s water supply known as the Sagamore Lens, Cape Cod’s sole source aquifer.”

2007

  • "We need to increase our investment in national defense. This means adding at least 100,000 troops and making a long-overdue investment in equipment, armament, weapons systems, and strategic defense. ... We are going to need at least an additional $30-$40 billion annually over the next several years to modernize our military, fill gaps in troop levels, ease the strain on our National Guard and Reserves, and support our wounded soldiers. ... The next president should commit to spending a minimum of four percent of GDP on national defense."
