Fellow Members of the State Committee,
Yesterday, I called a meeting of the State Committee for January 27th in Oklahoma City.
The State Committee is the supreme authority of the State GOP and is charged with “the duty of promoting the welfare and direction, controlling the affairs of the Oklahoma Republican Party and the Oklahoma State Republican Conventions, and in promoting the welfare of the Republican Party…” (OKGOP Rule 10(b)).
The mechanism we use to make decisions is through State Committee meetings. Each member has the right to bring motions and written motions (resolutions) to the meetings, where the committee can debate and vote. What passes the State Committee is the official position of the OKGOP. We met at the joint call of myself and the Chairman in July, where the Chairman laid out dates for quarterly meetings. We met in October, but unfortunately, the Chairman did not call the meeting that had been scheduled for January 13th.
In our state rules, it says that each member has a “sacred and inviolate” right to “participate in the official affairs and governance of the Republican Party” and that right shall not be abridged (OKGOP Rule 3(a)). I take that responsibility seriously and want to give you the opportunity to participate at the State level in decisions that will impact the OKGOP.
Our CD3 Chairman is facing a situation that should be voted on by the State Committee regarding a recent committee election and has asked the State Committee to come to a determination per OKGOP Rule 9(b).
In the last few weeks, I have heard from multiple counties who want our State Committee to pass resolutions regarding the recent actions of some of our elected officials. Our “Republican” Oklahoma Labor Commissioner, Leslie Osburn, supports LGBTQ ideology and chaired an organization indoctrinating our children. Our “Republican” US Senator, James Lankford, worked on a language for a bill with Chuck Schumer to allow more illegals into our country and further compromise our border.
These are an insult to the conservative values of Oklahoma Republicans. When I ran for vice chairman, I promised to bring a voice to “We the People” and make the “R” in Republican mean something. For these reasons, I have called this meeting and look forward to working with you to debate, vote, and take a stand for our Republican values.
Wayne Hill
Vice Chairman
