Cole Wins NRCC Chairmanship
Congressman Tom Cole was elected chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee today.
Cole had sought the post for the past year. Through his "COLE PAC" and his own campaign committee, Cole has poured more than $2 million into GOP campaigns this election cycle, cementing relationships with present members and helping GOP challengers and open seat candidates.
Also seeking the post were Congressmen Pete Sessions of Texas and Phil English of Pennsylvania. On the first ballot, Cole ran first, Sessions second and English a distant third. Cole won the second ballot.
Of the three, Cole is the only one with previous experience at the NRCC; he was executive director in the early 1990s and later (1999-2001) became chief of staff at the Republican National Committee.
