The second oldest of presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s five sons, Matt, stopped by The Kollege Klub Wednesday night in the latest effort from the Romney campaign to reach young voters in Wisconsin.
Matt Romney’s visit comes just two weeks after his brother, Tagg, talked with supporters at State Street Brats.
College Republicans Chair Jeff Snow said the visits show Wisconsin is “still very much in play” and, specifically, the campaign sees an opportunity to win over young voters.
“There’s definitely a chance to not necessarily win the youth vote, but make a huge indent in the vast majority that Obama won it by in 2008,” Snow said, adding that the shift is mostly due to “the situation with the economy and the debt that our generation is going to inherit.”
Romney told personal stories about his dad, mentioned new polls that show his father closing in on Obama’s lead in Wisconsin and nationally, and urged supporters to not only vote themselves, but more importantly “get other people to vote.”
