WASHINGTON—Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said Friday that she would support former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s bid to become the Republican presidential nominee.
“We need Gov. Romney’s leadership, experience, vision and values. He stands for what makes America great,” Foxx said in a statement released by the Romney campaign.
It’s unclear whether her endorsement will have any impact on the contested race. Foxx is little known in early caucus and primary states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.
And North Carolina’s Republican primary is scheduled for May 6. That falls near the tail-end of the nominating calendar, when the race could be all but over.
"While the North Carolina primary may not be for several months, our party will begin the process of selecting our nominee in just a few short days. The choice confronting Republicans could not be clearer,” Foxx said in the statement.
The Iowa caucuses are scheduled for Jan. 3, followed by the New Hampshire primary on Jan. 8.
