Grayson added to RNC platform committee

Secretary of State Trey Grayson (R-Richwood) was selected to be a part of the Republican National Committee's platform committee structure.

Grayson, who is in his second term as Secretary of State, will serve as co-chairman of the RNC's "Guaranteeing Energy Independence and a Cleaner Environment" subcommittee - one of six subcommittees within the platform committee.

That committee is charged to "handle policy relating to growing our American energy sources and protecting the environment," according to an RNC release.

Grayson will co-chair the subcommittee headed by former U.S. Secretary of Labor Ann McLaughlin Korologos, of Washington, D.C.

Grayson was the only Secretary of State and only Kentuckian named to chair or co-chair on the six subcommittees.
