Reform PA GOP Coalition

Across multiple races, leadership is using the Republican State Committee’s mail permit to attack primary challengers on behalf of incumbents.

This insider practice has not been employed since the 2005-06 pay raise cycle.

Fortunately, under the leadership of former Chairman Rob Gleason, he reformed the process for using the mail permit.

Recently, Republican State Committee has been running negative mail against Republican candidates in at least the contested races in the 20th, 46th, and 48th senatorial districts.

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania will likely face lawsuits and the threat of serious financial consequences.

This is the swamp supporting the swamp and the practice must end.

This also raises serious questions about the decisions and leadership of our State Party Chair, Greg Rothman, who serves as a state senator. Clearly, we need a separation of roles as the pressure to support his colleagues has outweighed doing what is right for the future of the state party.

At our next meeting of the Republican State Committee, a formal motion will be made to ban this practice going forward.
