Draft Thompson Committee announces Oklahoma support


The Draft Fred Thompson 2008 Committee announced that Oklahoma Corporation Commission Chair Jeff Cloud and former Oklahoma State Republican Party Chair Steve Edwards have joined the Committee’s Leadership Team. In addition, former Sen. Fred Thompson won the Wisconsin Republican Party presidential straw poll held over the weekend.

“Fred Thompson is the right man for America,” said Cloud. “I enthusiastically endorse Senator Thompson because he a strong, extremely bright, consistent conservative who will be the best candidate by far to lead us in these difficult times.”

Edwards, former State Party Chair and former Chief Counsel to the National Republican Congressional Committee, added, “Senator Thompson is without a doubt the right leader for our nation. His core convictions and resolve will make him an outstanding candidate and even better president.”

“Commissioner Cloud and Chairman Edwards both have tremendous reputations in Republican politics and their leadership will be a tremendous addition to our committee,” said Dean Rice, Draft Committee Treasurer.
