Mitt Makes Minnesota Move
Posted by Andy on August 28th, 2007
Mitt Romney has opened up a northern front in the POTUS race.
The presidential campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney announced a Minnesota steering committee on Monday made up of some heavyweight state GOP operatives.
Romney is the first Republican candidate to field a formal steering committee in Minnesota, which will hold its precinct caucuses on Feb. 5, a critical day in the nominating process when nearly half the states will hold contests.
I am guessing this is more about PR and Iowa bleed than anything, but still its nice to be noticed here in flyover country.
Members of Romney’s committee include:
• Longtime national committeeman Jack Meeks, who served as chief of staff for former Rep. Vin Weber, one of Romney’s close advisers.
• State national committeeman Brian Sullivan, who ran for the party’s gubernatorial nomination in 2002.
• State national committeewoman Evie Axdahl, a longtime member of the party’s state central committee and a five-time national convention delegate.
• State party secretary/treasurer Tony Sutton, the party’s former executive director.
Isn’t it against party rules for one of the 3 partywide elected officials to be pushing for a POTUS candidate?
Just asking… Article 9, Section 4, B.
I thought they had to stay neutral in POTUS races. I remember some people making a huge deal about this with certain people, that’s all.
