I have been quiet in regards to the reorganization of the Republican Committee of Allegheny County. But I need to get something off of my chest. I was a candidate in the 2025 cycle. Prior to my candidacy I had been a PAGOP employee, an elected committeewoman, an employee on a congressional campaign and a volunteer on numerous big races like county executive. I even worked for Scott Presler in 2024 for his organization called Early Vote Action which was all GOTV related work. As a candidate YOU are RESPONSIBLE for your CAMPAIGN. You should prepare yourself on what that means before you run for office. I had to cold call donors for weeks! Many hung up on me mid sentence and many heard me out and heard the passion I had for my campaign. I went on social media, which I grew to almost 20k followers over 2 years, and asked for donations. I received a third of my donations from just asking. People from all over the country donated to my little city council race. It wasn't because I was anyone special, it was because for YEARS I showed my consistency and passion for conservative values. They took a chance on me, a gamble. Noone held my hand and I can assure you that. The Republican Committee was a great resource for advice and for guidance. They are not event planners for your personal campaign. Anything we need John and Gina are there to help and have gone above and beyond for everyone in our Committee. I have seen it. You need something printed? You need a walk list? You need a form? You need campaign material? You need something submitted into the weekly trunk? Some of you don't know how good we have it. Look at other surrounding counties. I think there are a lot of misguided individuals who think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter just because you decide to run for office. It's not easy and it takes preparation and planning. If you combine your own resources with the committee resources you will do well. We cannot blame our losses on our current chair or the people employed at the rcac. It has been tough for Republicans. I saw it myself on election day with feedback from blue collar Democrats. We need to start changing hearts and minds and start to focus on why WE ARE the better choice on the ballot. End rant God bless 🙌 🇺🇸 #Allegheny #Pennsylvania
