08 Post Facto - Locally We’re Looking To Change
Posted by Andy on November 7th, 2008
I’m so ecstatic that we picked up a Democrat seat in 51A with Tim Sanders, but we’re not resting on our laurels after the election. David Balcom who ran in 51B and I had lunch today and talked about lessons learned and how to kick ass and take names for the next go around in SD51.
I encourage each and every BPOU out there to look toward the future and how we can be better as a party next time. We need to better educate voters and remove dead weight from local party orgs.
The BPOU Convention window, which is when we will elect new BPOU leaders is coming just around the corner in February to March. I encourage all BPOUs to start working on building a team that will work together and reform their operations to help make the difference.
Like the State Party and many Congressional Districts, many BPOUs are held back by insiders who are stuck in the political world of yesterday and refuse to work together, locally, to win elections.
The election may be over, but there is always another one coming down the road. It is high time that we understand that the off year is the perfect time to start laying the ground work for a better, more victorious Republican Party. I look forward to working with Mr. Balcom to reform our BPOU.

We shouldn’t rest on our laurels, EVER! Not when it comes to our newly elected administration. We need to make sure our new admin knows what we want. What we need. What we demand. We need to stay unified and make sure that our voices aren’t silent just because the election is over. This guy nails it.
