WASHINGTON – Victory 2008 Chairman Carly Fiorina and Victory 2008 Finance Chairman Lew Eisenberg today announced the 2008 Victory Finance Chairs.  The 2008 Victory Finance Chairs will lead the party’s efforts in the states to ensure Senator John McCain and Republicans up-and-down the ticket have the necessary resources to communicate our message and mobilize the vote.

“I look forward to working with each of the 2008 Victory Finance Chairs and communicating Senator McCain’s vision for the country,” said Fiorina.  “McCain has demonstrated to all of us that he has the judgment, character, and integrity to lead our nation and each of these state chairs will help echo that message.”

Eisenberg stated, “This is another important step in building a finance organization that will ensure Senator McCain and Republicans have the resources to reach out to voters all over the country.  The 2008 Victory Finance Chairs will serve as the backbone of a network of supporters solely focused on building relationships in each of these states as we move forward to victory.”
