VAN NUYS – Rudy Giuliani says California needs an experienced job creator in its Governor’s seat
– a businesswoman like Meg Whitman who’s disciplined and who understands the challenges facing
California’s economy.

The former New York City mayor and 2008 presidential candidate traveled to California Sunday to
join Meg at a lively rally in Van Nuys with nearly 400 voters. Giuliani told the crowd that Meg’s
successful background in business and her common-sense approach are what gives him confidence
that she can pull California out of crisis and return it to prosperity.

“I’m here because I am extremely enthusiastic – as enthusiastic as you are -- about the possibility
that we could elect a really great governor in the state of California,” Giuliani told the cheering
crowd. “This is the right person at the right time for the kinds of challenges that California faces.”

In contrast, Giuliani told this crowd that another term of Jerry Brown would be a move backward
for California. Brown has spent 40 years in politics, including two terms as governor three decades
ago. Under Brown’s governorship, taxes went up, the state’s unemployment rate nearly doubled,
and a $6 billion budget surplus became a $1 billion deficit.

“You want to go back to those eight years?” Giuliani asked the crowd. “This isn’t about Republican
or Democrat or liberal or conservative. It’s about having a chief executive who can make decisions,
who will run this state in a sensible way – like a business.”

Giuliani, known as “America’s Mayor,” has a reputation for being a leader who can take on
challenges, make the tough choices necessary to improve people’s lives and get results. He gained
international attention for his determined leadership in the wake of the Sept.11, 2001 terrorist
attacks on the World Trade Center. And as New York City’s mayor, Giuliani was lauded for
dramatically improving the city’s public safety, its welfare-to-work program and its public schools.

Giuliani endorsed Meg’s campaign over a year ago, and he’s one of several national Republican
leaders who have stepped up to support Meg in this critical election.

For nearly an hour, Meg and Rudy Giuliani discussed the challenges facing California and the
nation, and they answered questions from the audience on topics such as education, the budget
and how to push through the legislative gridlock in Sacramento.

Meg praised Giuliani’s leadership and promised to “upend the status quo,” just as Giuliani did in
New York City. She pledged to lower taxes. And she vowed to make it easier to do business in
California -- to be a “bureaucracy-buster” and ease the burdensome regulations and taxes that
have stifled job growth here.

“I will be the Governor who says no to wasteful spending,” Meg told the roaring crowd. “I will be
the governor who says no to more taxes. And I will be the governor who says yes to more jobs.”
