Gore allies get top posts at DNC

Associated Press, January 24, 1999

WASHINGTON -- Three of Al Gore's political allies joined the leadership of the Democratic National Committee yesterday as the vice president prepares for the 2000 presidential campaign. Joseph Andrew, chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party and the DNC's convention site selection committee, replaces Steve Grossman as national chairman. Grossman resigned Dec. 2 to spend more time with his family. Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer and California Representative Loretta Sanchez will co-chair the committee. Governor Roy Romer of Colorado, Grossman's co-chairman and the party's main spokesman, continues in that capacity.
