Little Rock - The Clark for President Campaign today announced Gordon Giffin as the National Vice-Chair of the National Steering Committee and will be responsible for Southeast campaign coordination.

"Wes Clark has the intelligence, the integrity and the experience to lead our country during a difficult period in our history. His service to our nation is one that instills confidence and respect in all Americans. He is the Democrat in this race that embodies Southern values and will run strongly not only in the South, but across the country."

Giffin, former Ambassador to Canada, is a veteran of both Georgia and national politics. He was treasurer for Sam Nunn's Senate campaign and Georgia chair of the Clinton-Gore '92 and '96 campaigns. He also currently serves on the Council on Foreign Relations, the Board of Trustees for the Carter Center and the Board of Advisors of the Woodrow Wilson International Center.

The National Steering Committee provides guidance on major policy and strategic issues of the Clark campaign, organizes leaders across the country for Clark and advocates for the campaign.
