Chairman Gruters on the Virginia Governor’s Race:
“We’ve been on the ground for seven months there…we have boots on the
ground. What we do as the Republican Party – when we do it well – is exactly
what I said: we mobilize the voters, we’ve been working with the Republican
Party of Virginia with boots on the ground making sure they have the tools and
the resources that they need to help organize [the] ‘Get-Out-The-Vote’
campaign, and that’s what’s needed right now.
“We need our voters to turn out. We close the gap. Winsome [Earle-Sears] has
proven that she can win, but now we need all the Virginians that believe in a
low tax system to get out there and make sure that they turn out.”
Chairman Gruters on the New Jersey Governor’s Race:
“…I was on the ground with [Jack Ciatarelli] last week, and you can see the
momentum building for him…you can tell that he has something special. He has
been running an absolutely phenomenal campaign.
“...[Voters] have to make sure that if they believe in the policies of Jack
and Winsome Sears, they gotta show up, and if they show up, we win.”
Chairman Gruters on President Trump’s Winning Policies:
“[President Trump] has been absolutely on fire. What you’ve seen in all
these states is a movement to the right. Voter registration – out of the 30
states that track it – all 30 have trended to the Republican side, and it’s
because of the President’s policies, because he’s the President of peace,
because he’s the President of law and order, because he’s the President of the
average everyday American.
“…We have to convince the American voters that love the President, that love
his policies, that a vote for these down-ballot races is a vote for the
President’s policies moving forward.”
