Newt 2012 Announces Charlie Gerow as Pennsylvania Chairman

Atlanta, GA - Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, a Pennyslvania native, has named veteran Republican strategist Charlie Gerow as Pennyslvania Chairman of his Presidential campaign. Gerow, who began his career working on the Presidential campaign of Ronald Reagan, is CEO of Quantum Communications a Harrisburg-based public relations and issue advocacy firm.

“I’m pleased to be part of Speaker Gingrich’s team,’ said Gerow, “My number one goal for 2012 is the defeat of Barack Obama and I believe that Newt Gingrich is the strongest candidate to run against him.  Speaker Gingrich is a fabulous debater, a brilliant visionary and a tireless campaigner.”  “Newt Gingrich is a consistent Reagan conservative who is best able to carry the Republican banner in the November election.”

In addition to his service on the Reagan for President campaign staff, Gerow has held leadership positions and been a surrogate speaker for virtually every Republican presidential candidate.  He has been elected as both a Delegate and Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Convention and has been appointed as an Alternate Delegate-at-Large.

Gerow serves on the Board of Directors of the American Conservative Union. He is the Republican political analyst for the Harrisburg CBS affiliate and is featured weekly on their award-winning show “Face the State.”  He is a familiar face on both statewide and national television.

He has also been named by Politics Magazine as One of the Top 50 Republican Influencers in the state and as one of the Top Ten Political Consultants in Pennsylvania by PA 2010.com.
