Michigan Grassroots Leadership Team Announced
ALEXANDRIA, VA - Today Straight Talk America announced that 24 Michigan Republican grassroots leaders have joined to form the PAC’s Michigan Grassroots Leadership Team.
“We are building the strongest Republican grassroots political organization that has ever been organized in Michigan,” said Michigan Republican Party Vice Chairman Gerry Mason. “Although most of us supported George W. Bush in 2000, we are working very closely with Senator McCain to help elect Republicans in 2006 and beyond.”
The Michigan Grassroots Leadership Team includes two state GOP vice chairmen, the state GOP secretary, four GOP district chairmen, thirteen county GOP chairmen, and three statewide elected officials. The complete team is listed below.
“I am honored by the assistance we are receiving from grassroots leaders across the state of Michigan,” said Senator McCain. “We appreciate their hard work and look forward to working together to help elect Republicans in 2006.”
The statewide elected officials on the Grassroots Leadership Team are
nominated at the Michigan Republican Convention and elected statewide on
the general election ballot. The state GOP secretary, vice chairmen,
and district GOP chairman are elected to their party positions at the convention.
County chairmen are elected at county party meetings.
