Ron Weiser, an Ann Arbor businessman and former chairman of the Michigan GOP, is being named finance chairman of the national Republican Party, according to a report in the Detroit News. Weiser told The News: “This is an extraordinary opportunity for me to be able to work with the new chairman Reince Priebus and a national team of like-minded people who are concerned about the future of this country and make a difference. The chairman made the decision and I’m pleased that he did. I intend to do this on a full-time basis until we achieve our goal, which is a victory in November 2012.” [Source]
