Howie's Goals

Develop and maintain a GOP "scorecard" on every political jurisdiction in the 10th Congressional District. This "scorecard" would list every single elective office holder at every level of government. School Boards. Town, City and County Councils. City and County Treasurers. Board of Supervisors. City and County Attorneys. State Delegates and Senators.
Develop a team that works with every Unit Chairman and other leaders to scour every inch of the 10th Congressional District, recruiting viable candidates. No office should go unchallenged. No Democrat should feel safe. Our goal will be nothing less than painting the 10th red!
Transform our Party into a public voice that educates voters in the critical issues of the day. Many traditional principles that you and I hold deeply, no longer have the same meaning, or definition, in the public dialogue. It simply is not enough anymore that we say we support a specific principle, if we can't inform voters as to how a concept intersects with their own interest, or how it impacts their life and their family.
Make our Party genuinely open to all, and respectful of real debate. A party of ideas, whose collective voice echoes the traditional, yet embraces the functional. A Party that never retreats from foundational Constitutional precepts, and always advances policy that reflects them. Above all, we must be a party that reflects the wisdom and common sense of the average voter in what we say and do. Part of that process will be to renew the strong connections that the Party has traditionally had with core constituency groups. We can't win elections if our natural base and affinity groups are not engaged in the election process.
Raise money year round, not just in election years. Develop and maintain the funding necessary for effective Party operations every month of every year.
Develop various methods and forums for discussing, distributing and educating the voting public on the Constitutional principles of life, liberty and property, and how those concepts work themselves out in public policy.
Chair 10th District Committee meetings and business in a fair, open and equitable manner that would insure every voice is heard.
Produce and make available on-line meeting minutes, financial documents, operating budget’s and expense issues, so that the every Party member in 10th District has full access to their Party’s business.
Properly and fairly represent the Party membership of the 10th District on the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia.
