Gov. Tim Pawlenty Elected RGA Vice-Chairman
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has been elected Vice-Chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Governor Pawlenty will work closely with RGA Chairman Haley Barbour of Mississippi to ensure that Republicans running in the 39 upcoming governor elections (3 in 2009, 36 in 2010) will have the resources and support they need to win.
As states around the country face historic budget deficits, Governor Pawlenty was selected for the post because of his successful record of controlling taxes and spending in Minnesota over his two terms as governor. As Vice Chair, Governor Pawlenty will work with the RGA’s donors and campaign on the behalf of Republican candidates.
Governor Pawlenty replaces South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford who resigned the post earlier this year.
