Oklahoma City -

Governor Mary Fallin praised Mitt Romney on Saturday for his selection of Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) as his running mate.

"Having worked with Paul Ryan in Congress, I know he is a smart, committed advocate for the kind of small government, pro-growth policies that are going to create more jobs and get this country back on track," Governor Fallin said in a press release.

"He's also a genuinely nice person with a great family and a wonderful wife from Madill, Oklahoma," said Fallin.

Republican presumptive Presidential nominee Mitt Romney made the announcement Saturday morning.
