Next month, the State Republican Party Central Committee will meet in Sacramento to elect most of its officers.  Here at the FlashReport, we’re taking the opportunity to work our way through the CRP offices up for election, and give you our take on the candidates who are running.  While there is no particular order in which we are going, we’ll eventually get to all of the positions that are being elected – Chairman, Vice Chairman, the Regional Vice Chairmen, and President of the County Chairmens Association.  We’ve offered to run columns from the candidates, and all but two have responded so far.

So far the FlashReport has endorsed Laura Gadke for re-election as Vice Chairman for the Central Valley Region.  Today we take a look at the Los Angeles Region Vice Chairman position, where incumbent Doug Boyd is seeking re-election.

FlashReport readers have read on this page before that I believe that our party, nationally, is at a crossroads.  I believe that elected party leaders at the local, state and national leaders have a bigger role than ever to play in working to see the Republican Party reemerge from the wilderness with a principled, conservative majority.  It is for that reason that it is more critical than ever that we elect (or in this case re-elect) strong, passionate conservatives to our party’s Board of Directors.  With partys being identified largely by the actions of their candidates and officeholders, we need strong officers who will work with these officials to ensure that we are putting for a principled message, and backing up our rhetoric with actions consistent with what we say.  Doug Boyd is that kind of leader.
