GOVERNOR RENDELL NAMED CO-CHAIR OF 2004 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
Harrisburg, PA
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) today announced that Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell will serve as Co-Chair of the 2004 Democratic National Convention, hosted by the city of Boston, July 26-29, 2004. Governor Rendell previously served as General Chair of the Democratic National Committee during the 2000 Presidential election.
The Governor will be joining New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who was announced as the Permanent Chair for the 2004 Convention last year, as well as Senator Edward Kennedy (MA), who will serve as Honorary Chair, Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle (SD) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (CA) who will serve as co-chairs.
"This year's convention theme, 'Stronger at Home, Respected in the World,' says a great deal about what the Democratic Party stands for and what the Kerry-Edwards team represents," said Governor Rendell. "It demonstrates the hope and leadership Kerry-Edwards offers our country this critical election year. I could not be more proud or more excited about this honor."
Governor Rendell will appear on CNBC's Capitol Report and CNN's Inside Politics this evening to discuss the appointment.
