State Sen. Ronnie Chance of Tyrone has been named the Georgia co-chair of the Rudy Giuliani presidential campaign.

Chance will work with House Speaker Glenn Richardson, the other co-chair, to help build the campaign’s statewide organization.

“I’m honored to help lead Mayor Giuliani’s campaign in Georgia and will work tirelessly to strengthen our growing statewide grassroots organization. I am confident Georgians are looking for a strong leader like Rudy Giuliani who has a proven track record of getting real results,” Senator Chance said.

Chance was the state executive director of the Bob Dole presidential campaign in 1996, and he also served as state director for Congressman Mac Collins.

“Senator Chance’s support and leadership will be very important to furthering our success in Georgia, spreading the Mayor’s optimistic vision for the future, and growing our team in the state,” Michael DuHaime, Giuliani Campaign Manager, said.
