NATIONAL HARBOR, MD – Remarks of Chairman Michael Steele, RNC Chairmen’s Luncheon, May 19, 2009.
Once again, welcome to Maryland.  Welcome to Prince George’s County, Maryland. This is my birthplace, the place where I raised my family and the place of my first leadership position in the Republican Party.  It was a tough job – and the pay wasn’t very good.  Most of my time was spent walking neighborhoods, licking envelopes, and making phone calls for the County Republican Party.

Dear Friends: Earlier today in a conference call with members of the State Executive Committee, I announced my intention to step down as Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party effective May 30, 2009.

As I turn the helm of our great party over to new leadership, I leave with enormous pride in the accomplishments of the past two years. In August of 2007, I stood before our Executive Committee and declared that I wanted my term as Chairman to be one of servant leadership and that my driving goal would be to “Take the Hill.” Today, all Tennessee Republicans can declare we contributed to reaching that goal, but our work is not finished.
