State Republicans reelect Vance
Chris Vance, the chair of the Washington State Republican Party, has been reelected for another term as the party's leader, the WSRP announced Saturday. The next term runs through 2005 and 2006.
Freddi Simpson, former Chair of the Chelan County Republican Party, was elected to serve as Vice-Chair.
The state Republican Party had been meeting in Tukwila on Saturday to reorganize the party and elect leadership positions.
Vance had been coming under attack from a group known as the "Reagan Wing" yesterday, which hoped to replace him as chairman. But Vance had the backing of former GOP gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi, who asked him to stay on as the leader of the party.
Though Vance has certainly been effective at spreading GOP propoganda and battling furiously for a revote, he has fortunately been unable to prevent Christine Gregoire's inauguration as Governor of Washington State. In the meantime, Vance's most immediate priority seems to be drowning counties in endless reams of paperwork with a gubernatorial election challenge. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for next Friday, February 4th.
