Former Republican National Committee (RNC) political director and Iowa native Gentry Collins says he is weighing a bid for chair of the organization.
The announcement came one week after Collins announced his departure from the RNC with a scathing letter directed at current RNC Chair Michael Steele.
“I have been encouraged by many friends, both on the committee and from outside the committee, to take this step as the RNC prepares to elect a chairman in January,” Collins said in a statement.
Republican National Committee member and former Michigan GOP state chair Saul Anuzis is the only candidate to publicly announce he’s running for RNC chair.
