"This exciting group of headliners includes two successful governors, two outstanding senators, the next senator from our convention state, and a former Co-Chairman of the 2008 Obama campaign. The perspectives and ideas they bring to the convention stage will show all Americans that Romney and Ryan are the ticket to a better future. Former Congressman Davis especially will give voice to the frustration and disappointment felt among those who supported President Obama in 2008 and are now hungry for a new direction," Chairman Priebus said. 

"The American people are smart. We know that if we don't change leadership soon, our country will continue on a path toward Europe and away from the principles of free market and limited government that have made this country the greatest nation in the world. I look forward to talking about the important choice facing our nation. We can either go the way of Europe, grow the public sector and make Americans more dependent on government or we can get behind Mitt Romney, reinvigorate the private sector and get our people back to work."

Republican National Convention Chief Executive Officer William Harris said, "These speakers will offer a variety of insights into why we need new leadership in Washington, D.C. and how important it is for us to stand unified as we nominate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan."

"I am proud to be able to represent Florida and be a part of officially nominating Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States. We will come together as a party and a country at the convention to demand a change of leadership in Washington, D.C. Our voices have been ignored long enough. For nearly four years, Washington's Lockstep Liberals have forced the government takeover of healthcare and saddled us with job-killing regulations, more taxes, more spending and more debt. That ends this year. The American people are demanding change, and change is on its way."
