| Description | South Carolina Republican Party Chair Katon Dawson, one of the highest-profile Republican state leaders, told the Associated Press Sunday he will seek the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee.
Dawson intends to announce his bid on Fox News Channel Monday, according to the South Carolina political website Palmetto Scoop.
The South Carolinian, who recently hosted a conference in Myrtle Beach to discuss the future of the Republican Party, has been reaching out to his fellow party chairs for some time now. Since November 4, numerous state party chairs have told Politico that Dawson had reached out to them as part of an all-but-declared campaign for the party chairmanship.
Dawson told AP that he was concerned about the future of the Republican Party in areas in once-competitive regions of the country.
“I certainly am concerned with the Northeast states as much as I am the Midwest,” Dawson told the wire service over the weekend.
When Dawson officially jumps into the race, he will join two other serious declared contenders: Michigan Republican Party Chair Saul Anuzis and former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who currently heads up the conservative group GOPAC.
