WASHINGTON, June 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement by RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman on Mark Sanford for governor in South Carolina:

"Governor Sanford is a visionary leader who has put South Carolina back on the right track. Since taking office four years ago, Sanford has overseen passage of the first income tax cuts in South Carolina history, fought to limit wasteful government spending, and worked to bring new jobs and investment to the state. Governor Sanford has consistently fought for a budget that limits the growth of state government and believes that hard working citizens - not the government - are the key to keeping South Carolina's economy moving forward. The Republican Party is united firmly behind Governor Sanford and we look forward to working together to ensure his re-election this November."
