MCCAIN ANNOUNCES MICHIGAN FINANCE TEAM

While in Grand Rapids and Detroit, John McCain took the time to announce the Michigan Finance Team. These men and women will help raise money to fund campaign activities in the state. Money isn't everything but it is a prerequisite for a successful campaign. Going through the list of names, I can assure you that Michigan McCain '08 is in good hands. The stature of many of these names proves that Team McCain is serious and committed to winning Michigan.

The Michigan Finance Chair, Jim Nicholson, seems ready to go to work:
“Senator McCain is a national hero with a long history of using his common sense leadership to achieve results. I firmly believe that John McCain is the person best suited to protect and lead our country,” said Michigan Finance Chairman James Nicholson. “On behalf of myself and all the members of the Michigan finance committee, it is an honor to be a part of Senator McCain’s team and we look forward to helping raise the financial resources necessary to elect him the next President of the United States.”

Additionally, former Ambassador and longtime Michigan resident Ron Weiser, who was appointed Ambassador to Slovakia by President George W. Bush, is serving on Senator McCain’s national finance committee

Other notables on the list include:
Mike Cox aide and spokesman Stu Sandler, prominent Oakland County GOP fundraiser David Trott, NextGen Energy CEO Todd Wyett, ex-United States Congressman Joe Schwarz, MI State Senator Wayne Kuipers, MI State Senator Michelle McManus, and RNC Committeeman Chuck Yob
