My Vision on the Role of the Second Vice Chair

February 11, 2007 - As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to delineate my vision for the role of 2nd Vice Chair as outlined in the Rules of the Cobb County Republican Party. The Party Rules assign three major tasks to the 2nd Vice Chair in Section 6.3:

1. Chief overseer of the Commission Sub District Chairs.
2. Education of training of Sub District and Precinct Chairs
3. Duties Assigned by the County Chair.

Today I want to take the first bullet (6.3.1) and expand on it:

"The Second Vice Chair shall have responsibility over Commission Sub District Chairs, directing their activities in their efforts to build their Comission Sub Districts "

We have 2 Sub District Chairs currently open. I would conduct a campaign to not only fill those Sub District chairs, but all of the open Precinct Chairs below them.

I would also make it part of my policy to have the Sub District Chairs hold a meeting with their Precinct Chairs a minimum of once a quarter and to have them formally report to the Executive Council once a month on the number of open Precinct Chairs and the activities taken to fill those vacancies.

I would provide the Sub District Chairs the tools and support to carry out this task and I would lobby the Executive Council for a discretionary budget for the Sub District Chairs. The amount of funding recieved would be tied to results as a form of commission.

Next week I will cover my vision for education and training. If you would like to help with my campaign contact me at
