The Republican Governors Association announced its new leadership team recently as the group prepares to grow the Republican Party through its Governors.
Governor Mark Sanford was voted Chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Governor Haley Barbour became the new Vice-Chairman.
Governor Rick Perry is the Finance Chairman.
Governor Charlie Crist will chair the Annual Gala and Governor Sonny Perdue will serve as Recruitment Chairman.
Governor Linda Lingle, Governor Jim Douglas, and Governor Tim Pawlenty will also serve on the Executive Committee.
“I am honored and excited to become chairman of the Republican Governors Association as we work together to win a majority of Governors by 2010,” said RGA Chairman Governor Mark Sanford. “Republican Governors are natural leaders who will find solutions to our nation’s challenges and bring back the Party.”
The Republican Governors Association will head into 2009 having raised a record amount of money and with a record amount of cash on hand. It was the only Republican campaign committee to have all its incumbents reelected.
“The Republican Governors Association was a bright spot for the Republican Party this year and it was a privilege to serves as chairman,” said Governor Rick Perry.
“Our Governors are positioned to lead the party and I am confident that Governor Sanford will build on our success.”

“It appears at this point that it is necessary to concede the race to Congressman Murphy and I do so now,” said Tom Manion from his headquarters in Doylestown late on Election Day. Here is his statement.
“I first have to thank the people who have been by my side the whole time: My son Travis. My wife Janet, my daughter Ryan, son-in-law Dave, our devoted assistant Krista, the rest of my staff, my key volunteers, all our committee members, the military families.”
“There is no doubt in my mind we would not have made it so far without all of you,” added Mr. Manion.
“Your efforts for me and for the greater good of the community and country you all believe in are remarkable. Without your help we could not have mounted such a close race…we have been the underdog the entire time and you did not give up even for a single minute when faced with substantial odds.”
“We fought a very brave battle and must be proud of the race we ran,” Mr. Manion continued.
“Ten months ago, no one even knew my name and today nearly 42% of our community chose me as their representative.”
“It is very difficult for all of us to see the race end…to feel that with only a little more time or a little more funding we could have turned the results in our favor,” concluded Mr. Manion.
“But we must get up tomorrow and keep fighting for our country and it is going to continue to be an uphill battle. I know you are all here with me because you are dedicated to your community and your country like I am. I know you will get right back up and continue to provide good service to your community. I know that tomorrow you will get up and hold your head up high and be proud of the work we have done.”
