November Message - Chairman Bernie Zadrowski
My Fellow Clark County Republicans;
There is no way to "candy coat" what happened on election
night, and it would be disingenuous of me to attempt to spin
the results of the election in such a way as to minimize the
damage . Like you, I am disappointed because I believed that
our tremendous efforts would have borne more fruit.
Unfortunately, it did not, and quite frankly, although many
races were close, we took a pounding. Like many of you, I
did not know what the "morning after" would bring. Last night
I asked, "What do we do now? Where do we go from here?" This
morning, the answer became clear to me.
Oddly, the sun came up this morning, and much to my surprise, the world
around me continued to buzz and whir. As stark reality set in, it became
abundantly clear to me that the world, political or otherwise, was not
going to stop while I roiled in disbelief and despair about an election
that was now, already in the can for the other side. I realized this
morning that now is the time that we must muster the strength to straighten
our backs, lift our collective chins, and fight forward.
Today, with resolve and determination, we must endeavor to restore
the color of Nevada to its rightful RED hue. Though our hearts are
heavy with the losses of great GOP leaders like Bob Beers and Dr.
Joe Heck, the time to begin repainting is now. We must continue to
move onward toward that shining city on the hill. Although we have
been thrown and we are down, it is time to get back on that pony
and ride!
Very soon the CCRP Executive Board will be conducting a "post-mortem"
meeting to discuss the various activities that, we, as a party undertook
towards winning this election. We will examine what worked, what didn't,
what we should keep or toss, and ultimately, what we need to do to win
in 2010. That means that we need your input! Please, no matter how short
or long, please send me your thoughts on what you believe will earn us a
victory in elections to come. My e-mail address is: Chairman@ClarkGOP.org.
Once we have your input, we will be reviewing your comments before
putting together a new political plan. We will be doing this very
soon, so please make it a priority to get your comments to me ASAP.
Every comment will be read and considered. There are no "dumb"
comments, so if you have something you think is going to be of
value, please send it. We will use your comments and suggestions
in creating a winning strategy for the next election.
With your help, I am confident that we will again be victorious.
It will take hard work and dedication, such as that which was
exhibited by so many of you who volunteered your time, energy
and money towards re-electing our great GOP leaders in the
assembly - Chad Christensen, Lynn Stewart, and Dr. Joe Hardy.
Likewise, we should not forget the tremendous accomplishment
of sending John Hambrick, Dick MacArthur, and Melissa Woodbury
to Carson City to join them. To those of you who gave so deeply
in this year's election effort, please accept the heartfelt thanks
of the Clark County Republican Party. More importantly, please
accept our invitation to continue your great work on behalf of
the GOP.
Yours in Republican Service,
Bernie Zadrowski,
Clark County GOP Chairman
