Republican from Massachusetts
Mitt Romney served a single term as governor of Massachusetts, elected to that post in 2002. He graduated from Brigham Young University and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and a law degree from Harvard Law School. He was born in Detroit in 1947 and now lives in Massachusetts. His father was governor of Michigan and made an unsuccessful run for president in 1968. Romney has worked as a turn-around expert for private companies, including Staples and Dominos Pizza, and in 2002 took over managment of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and turned the scandal-plagued games into a success.
