Giuliani Announces Colorado Leadership Team

New York City –The Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee today announced the members of Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s Colorado leadership team. The team will be chaired by House Minority Leader Mike May and includes several distinguished Republicans who have been organizing grassroots support for Rudy across the state.

“There is no question in my mind having Rudy as the Republican nominee will do more to help elect Colorado Republicans than any other candidate,” said May. “Rudy’s positive and optimistic message of growing our economy, staying on the offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us and reducing the cost of health care will broaden Republican turnout and performance. He will boost the chances of other Republicans in Colorado and around the country.”

"It is imperative that we nominate a candidate that not only has the best chance of winning the presidency, but also one who is the strongest person to lead the Colorado Republican ticket to victory.  Rudy's the one!" said Ted Halaby, Former State Party GOP Chair.

“We are excited to have a strong team in Colorado that has been building grassroots support for Rudy for several months,” said Giuliani Campaign Manager Michael DuHaime. “ Mike May has done an outstanding job organizing our operation on the ground leading into the caucuses.”
