As he tentatively takes steps in the direction of a White House run, former New York Gov. George Pataki stepped down as chairman of Revere America, his anti-health care reform group that raised and spent about $2.6 million on target congressional races in the 2010 cycle.
His decision comes just days after a Florida judge ruled that the entire health-care overhaul was unconstitutional.
“This is an excellent time for me to step down, based on my other commitments and the fact that Revere America has been successfully launched,” Pataki said in a statement.
Pataki, who weighed and passed up runs for the White House in 2000 and 2008, would likely rely on his recent crusade against President Barack Obama’s health care law, his enduring national fundraising base and the hope of an internal Republican reaction against the tea party and toward a center-right, pro-choice leader.
