RGA Statement Regarding Governor Sanford The Republican Governors Association announced today that Governor Haley Barbour will assume the duties of RGA Chairman effective immediately. Statement of RGA Chairman Haley Barbour: “The news revealed today hurts all of us who have gotten to know Governor Sanford over the years and so it is with regret that the RGA accepted Governor Sanford’s resignation as chairman. While this news is deeply disappointing, I also know it’s important to remain focused on the future and Governor Sanford’s resignation allows him and us to do just that. The RGA has an important task over the next two years. I am committed to seeing it through and confident we will succeed.” Statement of RGA Executive Director Nick Ayers: “My job allows me to share the joys of getting to know great leaders around the country and experiencing great pride when they succeed, but the other side of that is experiencing deep disappointment when they fall short. Today is undeniably a disappointing day. While I am personally disappointed in today’s revelation, I also know that it’s important for both Governor Sanford and the RGA to move forward as quickly as possible. Therefore we accepted his resignation this afternoon. However, the RGA is fortunate that Governor Haley Barbour was in line to become RGA Chairman, a position he assumed today. As a former RNC chairman and one of the best governors in the country, no one is better positioned to takeover as RGA chairman than Governor Barbour.” ### |

The Republican Governors Association congratulated Chris Christie for winning the New Jersey Republican gubernatorial primary tonight. “Chris Christie is a proven reformer who will fight for lower taxes and will work hard to make New Jersey’s economy competitive again,” said RGA Chairman Governor Mark Sanford. “Chris’s dedication to serving the citizens of New Jersey and impeccable record as a prosecutor has won him the respect of Republican governors across the nation.” “Chris Christie understands that New Jersey’s taxpayers can’t afford Jon Corzine’s $1 billion tax hike,” added RGA executive director Nick Ayers. “Tonight, Christie also showed that Jon Corzine and his special interest friends won’t be able to buy the election.” |

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, vice-chairman of the Republican Governors Association, will deliver the Republican Address on Saturday, March 21. "Reform-minded Republican leaders at all levels of government are offering solutions to the serious challenges facing our country -- real solutions that contrast sharply with the inaction and confusion of Democratic-controlled Washington," said House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH). "Governor Haley Barbour is one of our party's brightest stars, and through this weekend's GOP address, his message of reform and better solutions will be heard throughout America." “Americans know our challenges won’t be solved by the Democrats in Washington, whose plans for everything involve new taxes, new borrowing and new spending,” said RGA Chairman Governor Mark Sanford. “Governor Barbour’s focus on cost-effective solutions and real-world reforms exemplifies the type of leadership citizens want. I look forward to hearing Governor Barbour’s alternatives to the Democrats’ tax-and-spend agenda.” |

Washington, DC – The Republican Governors Association congratulates Luis Fortuño on his historic swearing in today as Puerto Rico’s ninth democratically elected Governor. Fortuño becomes the first Republican to be sworn in as Governor in Puerto Rico since 1969.
“Luis Fortuño proves that principled Republicans can appeal to voters everywhere,” said RGA Chairman Governor Mark Sanford. “He is the type of leader the Party needs to revive its base and expand its appeal.”
Fortuño previously made history in 2005 when he became the first Republican from Puerto Rico to serve in Congress. In Congress, Fortuño was elected Vice-President of his Freshman Class and was unanimously elected to serve as Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Conference.
