In 2006, Governor Romney proposed and signed into law a private, market-based reform that ensures every Massachusetts citizen will have health insurance, without a government takeover and without raising taxes.
Rep. Hoekstra on Gov. Romney's Executive Leadership
Romney does not just talk about problems; he fixes them.
In 2001, I attended a training meeting for thousands of Olympic volunteers where Romney gave an inspiring speech. Afterwards, the parking lot exiting into a busy street was so backed up that hardly anyone moved for 20 minutes. Suddenly, traffic began to flow.
Upon arriving at the exit, I saw why the gridlock had ended. In what is probably the purest example of leadership I have ever witnessed, there was Mitt Romney, the CEO of the Olympic Games, directing traffic in the middle of a frenetic six-lane road. He did not send an aide; he did not form a ‘gridlock amelioration’ planning committee. Romney headed into the traffic personally, and solved the problem effectively and immediately.
During the Olympics, I was driving with the President of the Italian Ski Federation. He asked me how I thought the Games were going. I replied, “I think pretty well.” He responded, “No. These are definitely the best organized and best operated Games ever. And you can take it from me. I have been to every one for nearly the last 40 years.” Such efficient administration and excellent operations are the direct result of Mitt Romney’s tremendous leadership.
I expect Romney to win this contest because he has been successful in essentially everything he has ever done. Consider Romney’s historical trend:
