Tagg Romney is the eldest son of US Senator Mitt Romney. He is a management consultant, businessman and venture capitalist. He helped in his father's 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign and his two presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012. He reportedly played a significant role during the latter campaign, which prompted many to speculate about his own political future, but he claimed "the timing is not right for me". He has worked with companies such as Elan Pharmaceuticals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Reebok, Monitor Group and McKinsey & Co. He had founded the game ticket re-selling company Season Perks and later co-founded the private equity firm Solamere Capital, which raised questions because it was seen as a channel for powerful investors to influence politics through his father.
