Chairman Joe Gruters on Fighting Back Against Democrats’ Racial Gerrymandering:

 

“The Supreme Court came with a ruling and said that Democrats can no longer gerrymander maps based on race alone…

 

“The Democrats have been cheating using gerrymandering for 30 years… The Vice President had it right when he said, we're rebalancing the scales now…

 

“This is all as a result of Republicans trying to do the right thing now with these new maps and the new law that's in place and as a result, I think it's going to pick up a couple seats for the Republicans.”

 

Chairman Joe Gruters on GOP Strength and Defying Midterm History:

 

“We're in great shape as a Republican Party. We have a president. He's the best showman that's ever existed on our side. He's willing to go out there and barnstorm the country. We have great candidates. We have a financial superiority… 

 

“We have a real chance to defy history because of all those things I just mentioned… I think we're going to win this midterm cycle.”

 

Chairman Joe Gruters on President Donald Trump Delivering for Small Businesses:

 

“President [Trump] has put the average American worker in the forefront every single day since he's been elected. Look at the Big, Beautiful bill, no tax on tips, over time, Social Security…

 

“Everything this president does is try to make sure that every single American out there can achieve the American dream…

 

“We're going to do things that's never happened before like the midterm convention, that actually be able to showcase all these incredible things that the President has done for the country.”

 

Chairman Joe Gruters on Graham Platner:

 

“Platner has a Nazi tattoo… he had that tattoo for 18 years. He only covered it up once it became a campaign issue… It just goes to show you how far they've gone over the left- wing, wackadoo radicals…”
