WASHINGTON - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement announcing the 2012 Pennsylvania Victory Director, Peter Towey:

"Pennsylvania will be critical in the coming election, and I am confident Peter Towey is the perfect person to move us forward to victory this November," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. "The RNC is poised to run a comprehensive voter outreach and turnout operation in Pennsylvania and Peter will help ensure we make more phone calls, knock on more doors, and make more volunteer voter contacts than ever before. In the wake of three and a half years of President Obama's failed policies and broken promises, Pennsylvanians are ready for a change in Washington and Peter is the start to a team that will demonstrate the RNC's serious commitment to winning Pennsylvania and the White House this November."

In addition to traditional on-the-ground voter turnout efforts, the RNC unveiled the new GOP Social Victory Center this week. It's the first of its kind online tool giving you access to many of the features of a traditional victory center from your own home. No other campaign or committee has developed the same technology to harness the power and reach of Facebook in this way; it is a new frontier in digital activism that will play a large part in the Pennsylvania RNC Victory Program.
