Episode 23, Segment 3: Primary Priorities

Ohio GOP State Central Committee Actions

• Friday’s meeting was an embarrassing display of dysfunction
  It’s a long video but 1:03 is the “Financial Reports”, 1:18 is the recommendation to endorse
• Voted 36-26 to endorse the slate of “statewide incumbents”
• The adjectives that come to mine – pompous, self-important, grand standing, total disdain for voters
• We need fresh blood that actually represents the voters to the party, not mandating the party wants onto the voters.

Precinct Executives and State Central Committee

• Why are these roles important?
  PEs are the basic infrastructure for the ground game of the party
  SCC members set statewide direction
  Currently the focus is on the party, not the voter
  No focus on messaging or principles
• How do you win the election?
• How do you defeat the incumbents especially if the SCC funds their own members!?
