CUPERTINO – Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for Governor, today announced new members
of her 2010 Gubernatorial Finance Committee. They join more than 110 Finance Committee
members announced earlier this year, making a total of more than 200 men and women
throughout the state who have pledged to help Whitman raise funds for her campaign.

“I am honored to have the support of so many Californians who share my vision for growing jobs
and stopping wasteful spending in Sacramento,” Whitman said. “Attracting these new committee
members not only shows growing momentum in my campaign, but demonstrates a common
commitment to fixing California.”

Whitman believes the next Governor has to focus on three things to save our state; she must
create jobs, cut spending and fix our broken education system. The new members of her Finance
Committee will help encourage more Californians to contribute to Whitman’s campaign and deliver
her message to voters. They include Ambassador George Argyros, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Arnel & Affiliates, Ambassador Howard Leach, President of Leach Capital, and General
William Lyon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of William Lyon Homes, Inc. (See list of team
members below)

“Californians are eager for a leader with a fresh set of eyes,” said Ambassador Argyros, one of the
newest members of the Finance Committee. “Meg Whitman is that leader; she has the right kind of
leadership experience, remarkable character and clear vision to lead our state during these
challenging economic times. In the months ahead, we will focus on demonstrating that to
California’s voters.”
