'''Willard "Mitt" Romney''' (born March 12, 1947), Republican governor and wealthy U.S. businessman, is best-known for his run as a serious contender during the 2008 Presidential election. If he had been elected, he would have become the first [[Mormon]] president. Romney was an established businessman in Massachusetts, having served as CEO of Bain & Company, a management consulting firm before entering politics. His political start began during the financially unsteady 2002 Winter Olympics. Romney left his career as an entrepreneur to take over as President and CEO of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee and quickly made the games a huge success. He gained popularity in Massachusetts, a state known for its tepid Republican support, and became governor in 2002. His record as governor (2002-2007) demonstrated his financial skill, but often was at odds with the state's voters on social issues. As governor, he balanced the budget every year without raising taxes or increasing debt. he also created over 60,000 new jobs and brought conservative change to the liberal state of Massachusetts.
