Many Challenges Ahead of New Republican Chairman

As the May 9th primary election approaches it is becoming clear that the next chairman will face many challenges…some new and some ongoing. The 2006-2010 Wood County Republican Executive Committee will have approximately 18 members who will choose their leadership and the direction of the local party for the next four years.

The new Chairman must:

  • Make peace with his or her defeated opponents.
  • Appoint a viable group of people to assist in operating the business of the committee.
  • Work with elements in the county who have been excluded previously when possible.
  • Have an effective agenda through the November election.
  • Prepare for more VIP visits in support of the John Raese and Chris Wakim campaigns.


Of the 18 members that will be elected, as many as 8 may be first time members and as many as 3 that I know of supported Democrats in recent local elections! To those who are elected to the committee will be the responsibility to support their Chairman and the Party. I look forward to the challenges that face us and wish all those involved the best of luck!
