Nassour Re-Elected Chairman of Mass GOP
Massachusetts Republican Chairman Jennifer A. Nassour running for her second two-year term won re-election over State Committeeman Bill McCarthy of Worcester by a substantial margin at the State Committee meeting held at the Newton Marriott Hotel on Wednesday January 6th.
State Committeeman Bill McCarthy together with others inside and outside of the Party had called for a change in the Party's leadership and direction. McCarthy who is incensed by the state GOP wipeout in the November election, stated on numerous occasions that she hadn't done enough to boost local candidates and focused most of the Party's resources on the Gubernatorial race. Specifically all of the Republican state-wide Constitutional Officers and US Representatives in Congress failed in their bids to get elected. Supporters point out that since becoming chair of the State Party, Nassour has been able to pay-off the debts that had accrued in the previous two-year election cycle by instituting a sound fiscal plan while enhancing the staff and work output.
In campaigning for re-election Nassour outlined her priorities for 2011 and 2012. Namely assisting with the re-election of Republican incumbents and to recruit more challengers to state legislative and congressional districts; conducting robust and strategic fundraising efforts that benefit all GOP candidates; changing the concept of campaign-driven GOTV efforts to a coordinated statewide effort and building the infrastructure to implement it; Increasing the number of registered Republican voters with the aid of re-built city and town committees and allied organizations; and updating the decades old technology and productivity for the benefit of the candidates.
The Republican State Committee elects a new chairman every two years during the January meeting following a presidential or gubernatorial election. There are 80 seats on the Republican State Committee, consisting of a man and woman elected every four years from the 40 state senate districts.
