Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

The California Republican delegation to the national convention in Minneapolis selected its leadership over the weekend.

There weren't too many surprises.

Former Secretary of State Bill Jones, who chaired GOP nominee Sen. John McCain's California campaign, will serve as chairman of the delegation.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will be the honorary chairman.

Three GOPers - former Gov. Pete Wilson, Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and state party chairman Ron Nehring - will be the delegation's co-chairmen.

In all, the party reports the California delegation will be the nation's largest (no surprise there, California is the biggest state) with 173 delegates, 170 alernates and 400 guests.

The GOP convention committee reps will be:

Rules: Bob Laurie and Jill Buck
Credentials: John Peschong and the Hon. Rosario Marin
Platform/Resolutions: Rep. Kevin McCarthy and Jennifer Russo
Permanent Organization: Sonia Denham and the Hon. Van Tran
