Statement from Governor Culver
Governor Culver on Governor Tom Vilsack withdrawing from presidential race
WASHINGTON D.C. — “I consider Governor Tom Vilsack a good friend and a great public servant. It’s a loss for Iowa and the country that he is no longer in the race for president. However, I am certain he will continue to provide a strong voice for issues like energy security and offer bold ideas on how to bring an end to the war in Iraq. Tom provided outstanding leadership in this state as Governor and offered a clear vision for the direction of our country as a presidential candidate. He ran a positive, issues-based campaign, and he should be commended for his efforts. Mari and I wish Tom and Christie all the best in their future endeavors.”
