Dean Announces Joint Fundraising Agreement with Clinton and Obama Campaigns

Washington, DC -Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean
announced today that the DNC has signed a joint fundraising agreement
with the Clinton and Obama campaigns. As part of the agreement, a new
entity, "Democratic White House Victory Fund," has been formed. The fund
will allow both candidates to raise money for the Party, forming one
joint fundraising committee account that will accept money for the
nominee's primary and general election and for the DNC.

"The Democratic Party is incredibly fortunate to have two strong
candidates who have generated transformational enthusiasm across the
country. We've seen historic turnout as new voters have come out to show
their support for our candidates and fundraising numbers have been
through the roof," said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard
Dean. "While this is a close primary, at the end of the day both of our
candidates understand that this election is about the future of our
country. In signing this agreement, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama are
demonstrating their commitment to unifying our party and ensuring that we
have the resources needed to win the White House, no matter who the
nominee is. The message is clear. Democrats are unified to put a Democrat
back in the White House so we can get our economy back on track, bring
our troops home and finally do something about our ailing health care
system."
