Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon had this to say today about the end of Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign:

“Mayor Giuliani ran a positive and spirited campaign.  Throughout his career, the Mayor has advocated for an inclusive GOP–a vision that represents our Party’s future.  In his concession speech Tuesday in Florida, the Mayor said, ‘We need to re-establish, very very clearly, the idea that the Republican Party…is a party that has been from the beginning, when we do it right…a big party.  We’re a big party.  And we’re getting bigger.’

Mayor Giuliani understands that to remain a viable party and to compete against Democrats in November, we must appeal to all voters–including independents, conservatives, libertarians, and mainstream Republicans.  He had an inclusive record on gay and lesbian issues as Mayor of New York City.  Though Log Cabin has not made an endorsement in the primary, some of our members supported Mayor Giuliani.  We thank him for his service to our country and look forward to working with him in the future.”
