New Castle County business owner Chuck Boyce plans to seek the post of Delaware Republican State Chairman.
The post is currently held by Dover real estate company owner Michael Harrington.
“My involvement with the DEGOP, as a statewide candidate, a delegate, regional officer and county chairman, I know firsthand the struggles Republican candidates throughout the state have faced over the past decade,” Boyce said. “I know we can provide a better structure and culture to encourage quality candidates to win races up and down the state, and provide a level of accountability to The First State’s one-party rule.”
Boyce noted that in the past election, Republicans lost seats in the House and Senate and no longer has a statewide officeholder. The GOP did tighten its grip the Sussex County Commission
“This past cycle was the worst loss in the history of the Delaware Republican Party. The State Chairman is responsible for over 198,000 registered Republicans in the state of Delaware. From the start I have declared I will not be a rubber stamp for the outdated ideas, methodologies, and tactics that have caused our party to fall so far behind.” Boyce said. “I look forward to using my experience to ensure we are good stewards of our resources. We must change the culture of the party and present a unified message that resonates with voters both north and south of the canal.”
The election for state party officials will be at the Delaware Republican Committee’s state convention May 4th in New Castle County.
Chuck Boyce is a local business owner and former candidate for U.S. Senate. He resides in Middletown.
