Why I resigned as Somerset County GOP Chairman!
On Thursday January 22, I resigned as the Chairman of the Somerset County Republican Committee. The decision I made was not something that was easy to do. I love the Republican Party and the beliefs that have been pushed by ones before me. I trust in our Platform and know that someday, we will win over the majority of Americans with our beliefs. I consider myself a Reagan Republican, meaning I realized my Republican beliefs during his time in office and believed in the values that he instilled in Americans. Nonetheless, the time has come for me to step aside.
The major factor in this decision is family. I am involved in a great deal of activities during my non-working time, most of which take time away from my family. Family means a great deal to me and I do not want to jeopardize any more time away from them than has already been done.
Many of you know that I sit as a Selectman for the Town of Norridgewock, Maine. I enjoy that job very much because it is in town and I love being involved in the community. It's great to know that I can make a difference in the way our town grows for the future. I truly love this town and will always push for the succsss of our local buisiness's.
One other organization I am a part of is the American Legion Post 16, from Skowhegan, Maine. It is an organization that is great for the community, children and ofcourse our veterans. Additionally, both my wife and our daughter are members. My wife is part of the Auxillary and our daughter is a Junior Member. We are involved during Bingo nights as well as any special activities that the Legion is active with. A great family organization for all of us.
One of the best part of being a parent is, you can spend time with them in their extra curricular activities as well. Meaning, I coach my daughters sports teams and enjoy it very much. Not only do I get to spend time with her, I also enjoy teaching the other kids on her softball and basketball teams. Frankly, I get more of a thrill watching the kids I coach succeed than I do if a political debate goes our way.
Again, I may be leaving the position of Chairman for the Somerset County Republicans, but I am not leaving the Republican Party. I could never do that for any reason, and I mean ANY reason. I'm sure I will be back again someday in the near future giving my full effort in getting Republicans elected in Somerset County and around the state. Right now, the best thing I can do is be a part of activities that keep me close to my family. I will continue to write about my beliefs and reasonings on my blogs (especially with the current administration taking over on Tuesday) and do indeed search for feeback from anyone who reads them.
As always with my posts, GOD BLESS AMERICA!
