INTERVIEW – RONNA ROMNEY MCDANIEL – chairwoman of the Republican National Committee

• TOPICS: VA gubernatorial, latest on budget/tax reform and GOP fundraising.
• RNC FUNDRAISING: The RNC had another great month of fundraising—small donor numbers are very high.
• POLITICO: Close Virginia governor polls set Democratic nerves on edge.  Democrat Ralph Northam is leading most polls of the Virginia governor’s race. He has millions more to spend in the closing weeks of the race than Ed Gillespie, the Republican nominee. And he’s aired more television ads than Gillespie over the last month.
