Leaders from the educational, political and legal communities remembered Mitt Romney in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

Gov. Mitt Romney is a great Republican who ran a strong campaign. He made the most magnanimous of political gestures today by putting his country and his party before himself. This says more about an individual's character and priorities than anything else. Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.

I and many Utahns are saddened by the news that Mitt Romney will not be our next president of the United States but proud of the class with which he ran and ended his campaign. He made an important mark in conservative politics and religion in America and will continue to be a major figure for as long as I can see.Kirk Jowers, director of University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics and head of Romney's Commonwealth PAC

Mitt Romney's service to our country does not end with this presidential campaign. ...

We need his voice and his energy, and I am confident both will play an important role in the months and years to come. — Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah
