Margaret Beckwith will be presenting upcoming poll greeter efforts, the poll greeter training slides, any changes and early volunteering to get a picture of our operational landscape.   She will also discuss our equipment inventory and what is needed to man each precinct on THE election day.

Good Tuesday all.    I am calling for a regular monthly committee meeting on Monday, 8 April  2024.  I apologize to the committee as a whole for the lateness of this call.  I am in the middle of travel season in my work and am currently in Hawaii.  I will be present and chair next Monday’s committee meeting.  This month we will address these topics: election integrity, poll greeter training and re-engaging districts to appoint a magistrate.  There are also many initiatives and opportunities from outside agencies that we will be discussing to empower the committee and those outside who are seeking purpose to make a difference.

The primary issue in our forefront is the current local property tax proposal. I encourage all to attend the bi-monthly board of supervisors meeting today at the George L Gordon Government Center 1300 Courthouse Rd. I know that this is short notice, but will be on top of these issues as this plane levels out.

Please be advised that the Mass Meeting is cancelled and the meeting scheduled for February 12, 2024, at 7:00pm will be the regular February business meeting. The meeting will take place at the Falmouth Firehouse at 250 Butler Road. The full call is below.

Congratulations to Steve Schwartz who is now Chairman. In keeping with the call, the RPV Plan, and the SCRC bylaws, Steve was the only eligible candidate and has been deemed elected as Chairman. I know he will do an excellent job, and I appreciate all of you showing him your trust.

Of course, this means that I am no longer Chairman. It has been quite a ride serving in this role. I appreciate each and every one of you, and the hard work and dedication you have shown. I know that each of you believe deeply in our shared values, and each of you work hard to ensure the future of our Commonwealth and our nation. I will miss working with you all so closely, but I am certain we’ll be working on shared projects in the future as well.

The main order of business is to elect the rest of the executive board to support Steve and help carry out the work of the committee. I know I can count on each of you to do whatever is in your power to support the party and help our elected officials, candidates, and committee officers.

Thank you once again for letting me serve as Chairman. It has been a rewarding and challenging job – one I wouldn’t trade for anything,

In Liberty,
Tony DeTora
Former SCRC Chairman

I am thankful for the opportunities that God has given to me, this community and the American people to help lead this party, Stafford county, the Commonwealth of Virginia and These United States of America forward.

I also want to thank those who have endorsed me and especially the Aquia District team who have always been there to stand in the gap where needed.

I look forward to a hard fought upcoming year!

Steve
