Romney boasts a master\’s degree in business from Harvard and enjoyed phenomenal success during his 14-year career orchestrating leveraged buyouts as the chairman of Bain Capital.
As the governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, he worked with a Democratic Legislature and an overwhelmingly liberal Jewish community to enact a groundbreaking \”Health Care for All\” law. He has a scion of a famed Mormon family; his father was Michigan\’s governor.
