Statement on Republican National Committee Leadership

January 19, 2007

    The Republican Party has a long and rich history of empowering 
Americans to determine the future of our country. Today members of the 
Republican National Committee selected a new team of leaders who will 
build upon our strong legacy and will encourage more Americans to join 
our party.
    We are fortunate that the Republican National Committee will be 
under the leadership of Senator Mel Martinez as general chairman, Mike 
Duncan as chairman, and Jo Ann Davidson as cochairman. Senator Martinez 
will help our party effectively communicate the Republican message of 
hope and opportunity for all Americans. Mike Duncan is a proven leader 
who will organize thousands of dedicated staff and volunteers to educate 
Americans about the great promise of our agenda. Jo Ann Davidson will 
continue to draw upon her extensive political experience to help expand 
our support in communities throughout our country.
    I am pleased that this team has been put into place and look forward 
to working with them on our continued efforts to keep our country safe 
and prosperous.
