Seven Utahns are among the heavy-hitters nationwide raising money for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to a list released by the campaign Tuesday.

Most of the Utahns on the list have already been associated with the Romney campaign, including the only one of the campaign's eight national finance chairmen from the state, John Miller, chief executive officer and co-owner of National Beef Packing Co.

While Miller's company is based in Kansas, he grew up in the Cache Valley and has an office in Salt Lake City.

Miller is serving as what the campaign calls a regional fund-raising leader.

The other Utahns on the list of fund-raisers released Tuesday are considered national finance co-chairmen, according to the campaign.

They are Jonathan Bullen, owner and president of Provo College, Eagle Gate College and Evolution Fitness; Spence Eccles, the former head of First Security Bank; Kem Gardner, another longtime Romney friend and founder of The Gardner Co., which employs Romney's son, Josh; Jon Huntsman Sr., the billionaire industrialist and philanthropist; Don Peay, founder of Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife; and Blake Roney, chairman of Nu Skin Enterprises.
