RPV: Will Mullins, SCC spark more fireworks at today’s meeting in Richmond?

By Lynn R. Mitchell

Some big names came out Friday asking RPV Chairman Pat Mullins and state central committee to set aside the bitter appeals battles that have raged for most of 2014 and, instead, concentrate on electing Republican candidates for the November elections (see Schoeneman is right: ‘SCC shouldn’t let misguided priorities cost us much needed wins).

Among them were three congressmen who stepped forward in unity and a show of leadership: Rep. Robert Hurt (R-5th), Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-9th), and Rep. Scott Rigell (R-2nd) (see Congressmen Rigell, Hurt, Griffith ask SCC to defer appeals until after November elections). Where are the other congressmen to call for an end to this eternal squabbling that has consumed our party for the past five to six years?

State Senator Frank Wagner calls on Mullins, SCC for postponement of appeals process

By Lynn R. Mitchell

Add State Senator Frank Wagner (R-7th State Senate District) to the ever-growing list of Republicans calling on RPV’s State Central Committee to postpone multiple appeals scheduled to be heard at Saturday’s meeting in Richmond. He notes to Pat Mullins that, first and foremost, the November elections should be Republicans’ only focus in a year when it is incredibly important for the future of our country.

Senator Wagner also noted 2nd District representatives have not received a copy of the appeal to be heard Saturday.

As I’ve written before, we have very important November elections to win. Some on SCC appear to have forgotten that in the civil war that continues with the party.

To see a copy of Senator Wagner’s letter, go here.
