BOSTON -- Former U.S. Rep. Vin Weber has agreed to serve as policy chairman for the presidential exploratory committee of Republican Mitt Romney.
"Throughout his many years of public service, he has embodied the bold thinking necessary to find innovative solutions to the challenges confronting the American people," Romney said Monday in a statement. "As I continue building a national organization, he will be an important voice in advancing my agenda to move the country forward."
Weber, a Republican from Minnesota, served in the House from 1981 to 1993. He currently serves as chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy and as chief executive officer of Clark & Weinstock, a consulting firm specializing in reputation and crisis management, regulatory issues, mergers and acquisitions.
Weber also sits on the board of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Democracy Promotion, and co-chaired an independent task force on U.S. Policy Toward Reform in the Arab World.
