Washington, DC – The Club for Growth PAC issued the following statement on Governor Mitt Romney’s selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as his Vice-Presidential running mate. Rep. Ryan has a lifetime 88% on the Club for Growth Congressional Scorecard:

“Congressman Ryan wants the same thing we do: to pass pro-growth policies and shrink the size and scope of government.” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “No one understands the dire consequences we face by continuing to ignore our spending problem better than Congressman Ryan, and no one can do a better job of articulating a vision of how to fix it. Most importantly, this pick sends the message that Governor Romney is interested in bold reforms to save America from fiscal collapse. For the future of America, we hope that they are successful.”
