I’m Danny Carroll…and I’d like to serve as Iowa’s Republican Party Chairman

December 26, 2008 by Danny Carroll 

I have expressed an interest in serving the State Republican Party as its next Chairman.

I look forward to the forum to be held on Saturday December 27th.  I admire the effort the committee has made to allow for an open and fair process in the selection of the new Chair.

It will be challenge for the Republican Party of Iowa to overcome the adversity of recent years.  But we have been able to do so in the past and will again in the future.

I think it is important that the new chair bring County Chairs and the State Central Committee together in a more inclusive process.  There is too much work to be done just to leave key players out of the communication loop.  With email, conference calls and the like communication should not be a problem.  Travel to Des Moines is not always necessary.

For example many ask about the new Executive Director.  The State Chairman usually chooses the new director and informs the committee.  I think a sub-committee headed up by the State Chairman should receive resumes and letters of interest from applicants for the position and conduct interviews.  That sub-committee then would make a recommendation to the full central committee.  This would allow for a healthy process and hopefully result in someone who has a strong base of support from the central committee and Chairman as soon as they start the job.  Such a process will continue the practice of open and meaningful communication.
