Chairman's Corner: A Note from Chairman Wood

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and is enjoying the beautiful spring weather!

Team RPA is currently planning our Summer State Committee Meeting, and we’ll share all the details as soon as they’re confirmed - stay tuned!

We’re also gearing up for the candidate filing period, which begins at noon on November 3rd and ends at noon on November 12th. For judicial candidates, filing opens at 3 PM on November 3rd and closes at 3 PM on November 12th. With recent legislation moving primary elections in non-presidential years from May to March, now is the perfect time to start getting prepared.

If you’re a County GOP Chair and haven’t already done so, please send your updated list of leadership and membership to our RPA Field Staffer, Max Bonner, as soon as possible. Max also manages our weekly events email, so if your committee has an upcoming event or needs to update meeting information, be sure to reach out to him early in the week to get those changes included. You can contact Max at [email protected].

And finally, for updates, insights, and more, follow along on X: @RPAChairman. I’d love to stay connected with you there!

If you need any more proof that House Democrats are spiraling into total dysfunction, look no further than the latest move from their head lunatic David Hogg. The DNC’s own vice chair is dropping $20 million… not to win competitive races, but to attack their own incumbents.

House Democrats are in the middle of an all-out civil war because they want to bring illegal immigrants back into the United States.

The kicker? The new poster child for the Democrat Party is a confirmed illegal immigrant, MS-13 gang member, and alleged domestic abuser.

"House Democrats have proven they care more about illegal immigrant gang bangers than American families. Their agenda is clear: Elevate criminals. Abandon Americans." - NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
