The RNHA Congratulates New RNC Chairman Michael Steele

The Republican National Hispanic Assembly (RNHA) extends an enthusiastic congratulation to the newly elected Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman, Michael Steele. Chairman Steele won the election in the sixth round of voting at the RNC’s winter meeting, capturing 91 votes of the 168 members of the national committee.

RNHA National Chairman Danny Vargas said “Michael will be an outstanding leader who understands the critical need to expand the Party by communicating with all Americans our message of sound fiscal policies, limited but effective government, respect for freedom and personal liberties, and values we as Hispanics share with the Republican Party—family, faith, freedom and opportunity.” He added, “A new day is dawning for the Republican Party and we have reason to be optimistic about our future.”.

The mission of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly is to build a membership organization to foster the principles of the Republican Party in the Hispanic community, provide Hispanic Americans with a forum to play an influential role in local, state, and national Party activities, increase the number of Hispanic Republican elected officials, and create and maintain a network of Hispanic Republican leaders.
