Healey Backs Mitt Romney’s Record on Women

Beverly resident Kerry Healey served with Mitt Romney as Lt. Gov. of Massachusetts.

If Mitt Romney is the next president, Beverly resident Kerry Healey says millions of women will have "good jobs with rising pay and new opportunities to fulfill their dreams."

The former Mass. Lt. Governor, who served in Romney's administration from 2003-2007, pledged her support for Romney in a blog post on his website, stating that he is "speaking from the heart" when he says a woman can do any job a man can. 

"Of the twenty top positions in the Romney administration, ten of them were filled by women, more than any other state in the nation," Healey said. "Mitt Romney didn't judge the people who were in his administration by their gender. He wanted the best, male or female."
