FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Statement from Mike Rawlings, No Labels National Convention Chair

WASHINGTON, DC – “Earlier today, I led a discussion with the 800 No Labels delegates from all 50 states. These citizen leaders have spent months discussing with one another the kind of leadership they want to see in the White House in 2024. These are some of the most civic minded, thoughtful, and patriotic Americans I have ever met. They take their responsibility seriously. Even though we met virtually, their emotion and desire to bring this divided nation back together came right through the screen. I wasn’t sure exactly where No Labels delegates would land today but they sent an unequivocal message: Keep going.

“They voted near unanimously to continue our 2024 project and to move immediately to identify candidates to serve on the Unity presidential ticket. Every one of our delegates had their own explanation for wanting to move ahead. Here are just a few examples of what I heard on the call:

‘Let’s do this. The time is now.’

-Al Bartell, Georgia

‘How can a great country like this be giving us these same two options?’

-Tim Kneeland, Iowa

‘We need to be brave and do something to change our current course.’

-Patty Leasure, Idaho

‘We are reigniting what the Founders did when they got here.’

-Elaina Goldstein, Rhode Island

‘Commonsense voters are without a political home and need a place to go.’

-Dan DuPraw, Pennsylvania

"It was apparent that these citizens believe this is a just cause and that No Labels should provide Americans with the additional choice that they so clearly want.

"Now that No Labels has received the go ahead from our delegates, we’ll be accelerating our candidate outreach and announcing the process for how candidates will be selected for the Unity Ticket on Thursday, March 14."
