New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg is backing Republican Mitt Romney's presidential bid.

Gregg will join Romney at a noon rally on Monday in Concord and then walk with him to the Statehouse, where the former Massachusetts governor will submit the paperwork to get his name on the primary ballot.

"Mitt Romney embodies New Hampshire's values - values that stress government living within its means, lower taxes, a stronger military and stronger families," Gregg said in a statement from the Romney campaign. "Governor Romney is the strong leader we need to lead America forward."

The endorsement is hardly a surprise. Concord lawyer Tom Rath, one of Gregg's principle political advisers, is a fixture in the Romney campaign; several of Gregg's aides are on loan to the Romney campaign.

Gregg, the top Republican on the Budget Committee, is a former New Hampshire governor who won his first Senate term in 1992.

John Sununu, the state's other Republican senator who faces a tough re-election bid in 2008, has said he doesn't plan to endorse during the primary.
