WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is proud to recommend the following officers for the 2012 Republican National Convention.

“I am excited to announce the recommended officers of the 2012 Republican National Convention,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “This convention will be an opportunity for us to tell Governor Romney’s story–to showcase his success in business, as Governor, at the Olympics, and his wonderful family. We will have an exciting lineup of Republican leaders who will show this country that Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan have a vision and a plan to bring America back. Thanks to the RNC Committee members and staff who have put in countless hours to make this convention happen, I look forward to putting together one of the best conventions in history.”
