Romney for Congress?

Josh Romney, son of former GOP hopeful and Governor of Massachusetts is considering a run for his districts’ seat in the US House. If he decides to go for it, he would be facing off against the Utah 2nd District incumbent Democrat Jim Matheson.

From the Desert Morning News:

Josh Romney told the Deseret Morning News that after a year of campaigning across country for his father, he’s been approached to run as a Republican against 2nd Congressional District Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah.

“I haven’t ruled it out,” Josh Romney, 32, of Millcreek, said of becoming a candidate himself. “I’m pretty young, but I’ve had good experience on the campaign trail.” Plus, he said, he likely could count on his father’s supporters here in Utah.

He also has to consider whether he’s ready to take on the rigors of another race and spend more time away from his wife, Jen, and their three children, Owen, 1; Wyatt, 3; and Gracie, 5; as well as his career in real estate development.

Josh Romney is the only one of the family’s five sons who lives in Utah. His father, who served as the head of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, was considered a “favorite son” presidential candidate in Utah.

If he’s anything like his father, I say go for it Josh. We need more Conservatives in Congress. Hold true to the principles of smaller government, individualism, the rule of law, lower taxes, and strong national defense and you’ll win the seat. Once there get close to House Minority (hopefully Majority or even Speaker by then) John Boehner (R OH-8th). Under his wing you’ll go far.
