Thanks to everyone who showed up tonight. "We the People" scored a huge win tonight.
Our entire "Re-unite the Red" ticket won. So congratulations!
Those of you who have been dismissed, discarded, minimized or kicked out of the Chesterfield GOP are now welcome back. I'll be sending you information on upcoming meetings. We need to grow our GOP and make Chesterfield solid red.
We need to unify the party and make it a welcoming friendly committee that gets Republicans elected.
The turnout for the "Re-unite the Red" was overwhelming. Over 650 votes were cast tonight. Here's the break down.

They were not expecting you to show up, but you did.
We overwhelmed the vote tonight and our "Re-unite the Red" grassroots ticket won. The average wait in line was at least an hour, but now aren't you glad you waited in the cold?
We overwhelmed all of their shenanigans tonight despite their efforts.
I'm sure it doesn't surprise you that they refused to allow me to vote.
I'm a registered voter, Republican Senator of 8 years who served our community and they refused to allow me to vote, presenting me with a letter advising me that based on my actions during the 2023 Election Cycle, that I had chosen to withdraw my membership from the Republican Party of Virginia and thus my ability to participate in the party process for four years.
Interestingly enough, the letter addressed to me, was signed by the Chesterfield County Republican Committee, but there was no vote taken by the membership committee to expel me.
Thank God we won! I look forward to appealing this ridiculous letter by Leslie Haley and her crony executive committee. I look forward to rejoining the Chesterfield GOP and being an active member there. My hope is that you will too.
What they did to me tonight is typical. They hate me because I stand up for you to ensure you have a vote and that you have a voice. Together, we did it.
Thank you for coming out to vote. I so look forward to a Chesterfield GOP that allows the Republicans of Chesterfield, not just the elite to participate in our Republican nomination processes.
Together we will make the Chesterfield GOP great again and get Donald J Trump and our U.S. Senate Republican nominee elected this coming November.
