Mitt Romney is a statesman, businessman, and former Republican presidential nominee known for his bold leadership and independent voice. A singular figure in American politics, Romney brings deep insights into leadership, policy, and our nation’s most pressing challenges.
As Governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, Romney pioneered a landmark healthcare law responsible for insuring millions of residents. Romney also led the 2002 Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the Winter Olympics, turning the struggling Games into a success story. Before entering public service, Romney was a successful management consultant at Bain & Company and co-founded the highly successful private equity firm Bain Capital.
As U.S. Senator for Utah, Romney was a leading voice for fiscal discipline, climate action, America’s role in the world, and the need for a comprehensive U.S. strategy to counter China’s ascendance. He played a key role in historic bipartisan legislation on improving the nation’s physical infrastructure, emergency COVID relief, marriage equality with religious liberty protections, and gun safety.
He has been married to his wife Ann for 55 years, and together they have five sons, 25 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
