Saltsman formally jumps into RNC race

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) - Another Republican on Monday jumped into the race to head the Republican National Committee.

Chip Saltsman, the former head of the Tennessee Republican Party and the former campaign manger of Mike Huckabee's White House bid, said Monday he's best positioned to rebuild the party following its bruising defeats on Election Day.

"As Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party, campaign manager for a Republican presidential campaign, and business owner, I know how to compete and how to win," he said. "Our party needs new and energetic leadership to rededicate ourselves to conservative principles, to regain the American voter's trust, and to set the stage for a dramatic turnaround in 2010 and beyond."

Bill Frist, M.D.

I am pleased to announce my support of Chip Saltsman for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. I have had the privilege of working closely with Chip for a number of years. He was invaluable in building our Tennessee state party as Chairman during the 2000 election cycle and since then he has been a skilled manager and thoughtful tactician for Republicans nationwide. During my time as Chairman of the NRSC and again as Senate Majority Leader I came to rely upon Chip's counsel and leadership.
