Following the news that the
Florida delegation to the Democratic National Committee voted
unanimously to endorse Howard Dean to be the party's next chairman,
three more states followed suit in endorsing Gov. Dean yesterday.


Governor
Howard Dean was endorsed today by several state Democratic Party chairs
and vice chairs, adding to his broad, diverse and growing list of
support both among the members of the Democratic National Committee
(DNC). The list of voting DNC state party chairs and vice-chairs
supporting Governor Dean include:



Florida: Chairman Scott Maddox, Vice-Chairwoman Diane Glasser

Mississippi: Chairman Wayne Dowdy

Oklahoma: Chairman Jay Parmley, Vice-Chairwoman  Debbe Leftwich

Utah: Vice-Chairwoman Nancy Woodside

Washington: Chairman Paul Berendt

Vermont: Chairman Peter Mallary



This
list of supporters signifies that people in every region of the country
approve of Dean's vision and structure that he wants to bring to the
DNC.



“The
support of these influential chairs and vice chairs from all parts of
the country and across the political spectrum means a lot to me.” Dean
said, “They are part of my overall strategy for Democrats to be
involved in every race in every town, city and precinct. I am looking
forward to working with them to ensure my election as the next Chairman
of the DNC.”



Dean is
running for DNC Chair to build on the work his PAC, Democracy for
America, (DFA) has been doing to elect Democrats to local and national
offices. In addition to mobilizing grassroots support, DFA directly
donated over $1 million for candidates across the country.



Gov.
Dean continues to attend regional caucus meetings of the DNC membership
across the country and will be traveling to those meetings for the next
two weeks. This weekend (January 22), he will be in Sacramento to meet
with the Western Regional Caucus and the following weekend (January 29)
he will be in New York City to meet with the Northern Regional Caucus.
