Prominent Georgia Republican Activist Alec Poitevint Endorses Marco

Today, former Georgia Republican Party Chairman and former Republican National Committee (RNC) National Committeeman Alec Poitevint endorsed Marco Rubio for president.

Poitevint is a leading GOP activist in Georgia, where he served as Chairman of Governor Sonny Perdue's 2002 gubernatorial campaign and Chairman of Senator David Perdue's 2014 Senate campaign. In addition to being a RNC Committeeman, Poitevint has also served on the national stage as Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements at the 2012 Republican National Convention and the Co-Chairman and Treasurer of the 2000 Republican National Convention. He is the President and Chairman of Southeastern Minerals, Inc. in Georgia. 

"Having endured almost eight years of President Obama, Americans are frustrated with the direction of our country. I am one of them. The only way to turn it around and advance our conservative cause is to win in November," said Alec Poitevint. "I believe the only candidate who can do that is Marco Rubio. His conservative values are second to none.”
