I am extremely proud of our State Executive Committee for supporting what is right instead of what is popular.

We don’t always like court rulings, but the party’s duty to uphold the rule of law is more important than any one person’s political ambitions.

Our party leadership is unified in its mission to defeat Barack Obama and put America back on the path toward a more prosperous future.”
