Bill Jones Re-emerges as Major Statewide Player

Former California Secretary of State Bill Jones is no stranger to Californians, especially California Republicans. He has served as a statewide constitutional officer, Assemblyman, Assembly Republican Leader, and a county Republican Chairman in his native Fresno.

This year, Bill has emerged as a key statewide player in the 2008 campaign as the California state chairman of Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign. This is great news for both Senator McCain, and California Republicans.

While Bill's focus will of course be the election of Senator McCain, as an Assembly Republican leader, Bill understands the needs of our state legislative candidates as we work to build our numbers in the Capitol this year. And as a former county chairman, he understands and appreciates the important role our volunteers play in registration and turnout efforts.

Beyond his experience, Bill is simply a good, solid Republican guy from the Central Valley: sharp, committed, and easy to work with.

I'm incredibly enthusiastic about working closely with Bill this year to support Republican candidates up and down the ticket this fall.
