Reince Priebus will run for another term as chair of the Republican National Committee, he announced in an email sent to committee members Friday.

"When I return the week after Thanksgiving, I intend to make an official announcement that I am running to continue on as your Chairman, but I wanted to let you all know first," Priebus writes in the letter.

Priebus notes in the email that over 130 RNC members have pledged their support to him -- well over the 85 needed to secure a victory.

"I am humbled by the over 130 RNC Members who I have talked to who have pledged their support and public endorsement for me to continue on as Chairman so we can finish the job that we started and continue to grow our Party," he writes.

Priebus touts his accomplishments since being elected chair almost two years ago, while citing the work still ahead. The election will be held in January, but no else has announced a candidacy yet.
