-RSLC CONTRIBUTES $200,000 TO CUCCINELLI FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL-

ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), the nation’s largest caucus of Republican state leaders, today contributed $200,000 to Senator Ken Cuccinelli’s campaign for Attorney General. This brings the total contributions for the RSLC in Virginia to over $515,000 so far this election cycle.

“Ken Cuccinelli is commonsense, conservative who understands that a competitive Virginia, with state government officials who will keep tax and regulatory burdens low, will allow individuals and businesses to prosper,” said Scott Ward, President of the Republican State Leadership Committee. “His Senate experience and record of protecting taxpayers, property rights and promoting legal reform, coupled with his small business background, will make him an effective Attorney General.”

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is the only national organization whose mission is electing Republicans to the office of Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State and State Legislator. The RSLC is the largest caucus of Republican state leaders in the country – making a national impact one state at a time. During the 2008 election the RSLC helped maintain the number of Republican Attorneys General and Lieutenant Governors across the U.S. In addition, the RSLC was able to deliver new Republican majorities in the Montana, Oklahoma and Tennessee state senates, as well as an unprecedented majority in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Since November 2008, Republicans have won sixteen special elections for the state legislature – gaining four seats previously held by Democrats.

The RSLC has over 75,000 donors from all 50 states supporting the RSLC’s goals to pursue a pro-growth agenda, including reforming the tax code, healthcare and legal systems; promoting a better educational system; encouraging sound energy initiatives; and advocating public safety through tough, crime-fighting policies.
