Co-Chairman Jo Ann Davidson: GA and MN Updates


While in many states Republicans are preparing to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families and friends, in both Georgia and Minnesota they are still tirelessly working to be sure that the Democrats do not have a 60-vote filibuster proof majority in the United States Senate.

Earlier this week Chairman Mike Duncan and I visited the Victory Centers opened in Georgia to work on voter turnout for the runoff election next Tuesday between Republican United States Senator Saxby Chambliss and his Democrat opponent. We talked with enthusiastic volunteers who were well aware of the importance of this runoff election.

In Minnesota, the recount continues in Senator Norm Coleman’s race against Al Franken. Coleman has consistently remained ahead in the recount by approximately 200 votes. Working with the Coleman Campaign and the Minnesota Republican Party, 2500 volunteers have been recruited to serve as observers in each county to challenge any ballots which they have reason to believe should not be counted.

We are very fortunate that we have dedicated Republicans, not just in Georgia and Minnesota but other states as well, who have responded to the call to help out in both the runoff election and the recount.

We recognize the blessings that we have as Americans. As we gather on this Thanksgiving Day, let us recognize all those who work to ensure our freedoms continue, especially the women and men who serve so honorably in our Armed Services.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Jo Ann Davidson
Co-Chairman
Republican National Committee
