CUPERTINO – Today, Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for Governor, announced the leaders of her Students for Meg Coalition. These leaders are working with Meg to empower students to join together and rebuild the Golden State.

“I am counting on the energy, ideas and determination of California’s young voters to move our state in a new direction,” said Whitman. “Creating jobs is my top priority. I want the next generation of Californians to be able to start their careers and build their lives here. This important coalition will be key to sharing my vision for A New California with college and university students around the state.”

“We’re joining Meg because she has the right ideas for California – more jobs and better schools,” said Kelly Steele, a student at University of California, Riverside. “It’s critical students’ voices be heard. We will work hard to get out the vote and encourage students across California to go to the polls.”

The team has already helped Meg form 40 Students for Meg chapters throughout California. If you are interested in starting a Students for Meg 2010 chapter on your campus or becoming more involved, please email Students@MegWhitman.com. The more chapters started, the more students will hear why Meg has the kind of leadership experience California badly needs.
