Chairman’s Letter: November 14, 2012
Posted by chris on Nov 14, 2012Dear Friends,
In the week that has passed since Election Day, our Party – both here in Georgia and nationally – has had the opportunity to reflect on what worked, what didn’t and where we are going to go from here. Self-assessment, while not always an easy process, will guide our Party forward into 2014 and beyond and is something that we have embraced here at Georgia GOP.
As I wrote last week, Election Day was indeed a successful day for the Republican Party in Georgia. Along with casting more votes for Mitt Romney than any presidential candidate has ever garnered in our state (and the most East of the Mississippi in 2012), we also grew our majorities in both chambers under the Gold Dome, defended our congressional and statewide majorities and did not lose a single incumbent on the federal or state level. In addition, we saw our Party grow substantially on the local level, electing more sheriffs, county commissioners and district attorneys than ever before.
In 2014, the stakes will once again be high here in the Peach State. Senator Saxby Chambliss will be up for reelection, as will the vast majority of our statewide office holders, including Governor Nathan Deal, Attorney General Sam Olens, Secretary of State Brian Kemp and all other constitutional officers. As such, the next few months will be not only a time for reflection, but also for preparation.
That preparation begins with the 2013 Georgia Republican Party Convention Cycle. Starting with the Mass Precinct Meetings in February and continuing through the 2013 State Convention in Athens, this cycle will be vital to the future of our Party. We will be electing leadership atop every District and County GOP Organization, and will ultimately elect my successor here at the State Party. In order for our team to carry on the successes of the past decade, we must continue to elect leaders that will carry our Party to new and great heights.
Please mark your calendar for these important upcoming dates in the 2013 GAGOP Convention Cycle:
February 9, 2013 - Mass Precinct Meetings
March 9, 2013 – County Conventions
April 20, 2013 – District Conventions
May 17-18, 2013 – GAGOP State Convention (Athens, GA)

Here at the Georgia Republican Party, our sights are set on November 4th, 2014. Let’s get to work!
All my best,
Sue
