How do you believe precinct chairs should be involved in elections? (election judge, clerk, none?)
Yes. Block walking, distributing / communicating election information, voter registration, serving as election judges
Do you like the Steering Committee style of leadership currently in place or that of just a county chairman?
Grassroots -- precinct chairman representing their constituents serving on a Steering Committee. As per Abe Lincoln " of the people, by the people, for the people"?
Do you beieve that the county chair/precinct chairs should actively participate in at least one committee?
Yes. I currently serve on several committees
Should the county GOP chair be involved with fundraising? Why or why not?
Yes. Raising funds to increase voter turnout and support those activity seeking office is critical. Leadership by example trickles down thus when the county GOP chair is seen as an active participant in fund raising it provides a positive example for the precinct chairs to follow
Should party primaries be "open" or "closed" & why?
Closed. Helps to ensure that crossover voters can not negatively impact election results
Should the GOP County Chair be selected by the elected County Executive Committee, or in the Open primaries where Democrats can cross over for more moderate candidates?
Of the two choices, election by the CEC (county executive committee) is my preferred choice
