Mount Vernon, Va. – Former Governor and U.S. Senator George Allen issued the following statement today, congratulating Michael Steele for being elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
“The truth is that voters don’t care about Republican versus Democrat, or conservative versus liberal. They care about the ideas and solutions that will have a positive impact on their lives. Republican need to restart our creative engines to motivate and inspire people behind our ideas and solutions for job growth and economic competitiveness, a strong national defense, better schools with more choice and strategic energy independence. And I believe Michael Steele will articulate these ideas to get more Americans to join our efforts to improve America as a land of opportunity for all.”
