Nation : Ron Brown Claims Democratic Post
Attorney Ronald Brown claimed victory today in the race for the Democratic Party chairmanship after he received the endorsement of his chief rival in the four-candidate race. He would be the first black to win the post.
“I am ending my campaign today and I am endorsing Ron,” said Rick Wiener, the Michigan Democratic Party chairman, widely regarded as Brown’s principal competitor. Brown, Jesse Jackson’s convention manager in Atlanta last summer, immediately issued a statement thanking Wiener and saying, “I now have more than enough votes to win the chairmanship of the DNC.”
