Senator Nathan Dahm endorsed Randy Brogdon today in Brogdon’s quest to unseat Republican Party Chairman Dave Weston this weekend during the Republican Party’s convention.
Brogdon and longtime party worker and officer Pam Pollard are challenging Weston.
In an email, Dahm wrote,
“I have known Randy Brogdon for many years. Randy has been someone that, through the years, was always willing to sit down and talk with me, even before I was elected to state office. Randy really set the example of what it means to be a citizen legislator. He was never afraid to do the right thing, even when it may have been unpopular. Even today I see the impact of the legislation he enacted. His attempts to get the government back to its proper role and limit its size in order to protect the people’s rights are still evident.
“Randy brings important lessons of leadership to the table. He understands that a good leader is one who listens and empowers others to succeed. His dedication to service will make him the kind of chairman who invests in open communication. People want to be involved in the process when they feel like they are being heard and respected and I believe Randy will bring that kind of environment to the State Party.
“Now is the perfect opportunity for our Oklahoma Republican Party to grow its activist base. With a Presidential election right around the corner and a fight against Hilary Clinton already underway, it is essential that we have an OKGOP Chairman who will bring in new members and create a framework for them to become invested in the party. This is important not only to defeat Hillary, but it is also important for the preparation of the 2018 elections which will bring our OKGOP a new crop of statewide nominees. I trust in Randy Brogdon to prepare us for these battles by bringing the factions of our party together and by building upon our existing strengths.”
