Gov.
Rick Perry Announces New Hampshire Steering Committee
AUSTIN
- Texas Gov. Rick Perry today announced his New Hampshire campaign
steering committee, which includes twenty-six Republican leaders
representing all 10 New Hampshire counties.
"I have been involved in New Hampshire
politics for more than three decades and I have never seen a stronger
and more dedicated group of campaign volunteers," said Gordon Humphrey,
former U.S. Senator and Perry steering committee member. It speaks to
the strength and leadership of Gov. Perry and his message of job
creation."
Additionally, the Perry campaign is
building a statewide organization of county, city, town, and ward
chairs that it will announce later in the year. Last month, Gov. Perry
also earned the endorsement of 27 of New Hampshire state
representatives in the first five weeks of its campaign, three times
more than Mitt Romney had after five years of campaigning in the
Granite State.
"These hard-working steering committee
members will serve as the nucleus for the first-rate political
organization we are building in New Hampshire," said Perry New
Hampshire Senior Advisor Paul Young. "We are grateful for their support
as well as the enthusiastic support we have received from hundreds of
volunteers across the state."
"The strength and breadth of our New
Hampshire steering committee is an important addition to our growing
campaign organization, " said Perry Campaign Manager Rob Johnson. "They
will be instrumental in our efforts to share Gov. Perry's bold ideas
about how to change the direction of this country and get America
working again."
