Byler vs. Meyer 2.0

On Saturday, May 8th delegates to the Republican 2nd District Convention will elect a new Chairman to lead the District for the next two years. This contest is a “re-match” from 2008, when Gary Byler defeated incumbent Bruce Meyer by a comfortable margin.

While the candidates are the same, the political climate is not and the dynamics of this campaign are quite different compared to 2008. With only four days until the convention, both sides are ratcheting up the rhetoric and working the phones to get their supporters to show up for the convention. This election is vital to the continued success of the Republican Party in Hampton Roads, as we focus on defeating Freshman Democrat Congressman Glenn Nye.

Being a resident and delegate to the convention, I have received a number of mailings from both candidates chronicling their past achievements and visions for the future of the party in the 2nd district. I think their campaign slogans perfectly sum up what their focus will be on, whoever wins the election.

Byler calls his “Join me in continuing the Republican Sweep”! While Meyer’s theme is “My Plan to Grow and Improve Our Republican Party and Win Back our Congressional Seat which was lost in 2008”.

One candidate focuses on past accomplishments while the other focuses on and presents a vision and plan for the future. Some may say that the best predictor of future success is past success (as a rule of thumb) while others feel that the candidate who can present a plan for the future is better suited for the job. I would have to agree with the latter and that is why I am supporting Bruce Meyer for Chairman of the 2nd Congressional District.

Bruce Myer has set out an aggressive plan for the future of the 2nd Congressional District and gives a timeline for its implementation if elected on Saturday. His plan includes the following:

Create a membership committee that will work with each unit in the district, by reinstituting Grass Roots Training/Leadership workshops it has been two years since any type of training has been conducted or hosted by the 2nd District.

Formation of a committee to plan and implement an Annual Congressional District Issues Conference that will focus on policy issues which are important to voters. These issues will then be presented to elected officials, RPV and the RNC.

The use of technology (website, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to reach out to voters and to keep members informed of events and issues. While chairman, Bruce established the first ever website for the 2nd District (2dgop.com)Gary Byler also established a website and Facebook page, albeit only about two months ago.

Will preside over the 2nd District in a professional manner and will not allow unethical or nonsense behavior by candidates seeking the Republican nomination. He will also not endorse any candidate for any office, until the nomination process has run its due course.

Will link up the district website to All State Board and Commission vacancies that Governor McDonnell will be filling during his term, allowing qualified men and women to serve who will oversee and influence the Commonwealth long after the Governor’s term has ended.

Will link up the district website to City Councils and County Boards all vacancies for Boards and Commissions available so that conservative men and women will servie in places of influence in their local government.

If you want to take our party to the next level, please come out this Saturday and support Bruce Meyer for Chairman.
