Kirwin: Gary Byler for Second District Chairman

In 2006, the George Allen vs. James Webb race deteriorated into anything but a discussion of issues, with the media leading the way. That led to a seriously bad 2007, where Republicans worst enemies were Republicans. No Republican lost in 2006 or 2007 because of any Democrat. Each and every one lost because conservatives split with moderates and the natural conservative majority dwindled to a Party minority. There’s no reason we should’ve lost two delegate races in Virginia Beach. It was as frustrating as watching your favorite football team play a prevent defense as the other side marches down the field to beat you.

Fair or unfair, those who were running the party apparatus shouldered some of the blame. Suffice to say that those on the ground really didn’t make the decisions, craft the message, or spend the money. Disconnect grande!

This is a long way of saying that in 2008, I supported Gary Byler to replace Bruce Meyer as Chairman of the Second District. Bruce is a good guy and works hard for the Party. I’ve never had so much as a cross word with him, and for me, that’s saying something.

But I believed change was needed in more than a few areas.

Drake’s loss was on Gary’s watch, but on the same November ballot, we also won every local race in the Second District. The pieces were in place for a grassroots resurgence.

2009 was a banner year for Gary Byler. He was always accessible, always helpful, with money, time, volunteers, staff, advice and shoe leather. In the Second, we won the races we needed to win, erased some bitter losses, and challenged Democrats in districts that they never thought we would, and not with underdog campaigns, but with funded, staffed, professional ones. That was pure brilliance, and it made the difference in the close races that Democrat time and money had to be spent elsewhere.

So, going into November 2010, whom would be a better steward of the Second District? Let’s not kid ourselves. Glenn Nye is no easy opponent. The fractured conservative coalition of 2006-07 is just not going to get the job done.

Gary has been a good friend and honest straight-shooter, and in the end we all have the same goal: Republicans winning elections. I’ve seen both Byler and Meyer perform as Second District Chairman, and you can’t argue results. Byler has helped turn the tide, and that is more important than any other issue being discussed in this chairman’s campaign.

Gary Byler has shown that he possesses the better skills, the better experience, and the better talents to get that job done. I have full confidence in his leadership in both the 2010 and the critical 2011 elections. I endorse his re-election as Chairman.
