IS THERE A PLAN UNDERWAY TO SUBVERT THE PROCESS?
WHY NOT LET THE VOTERS DECIDE?
Justin Simmons, candidate for congress, has called for the resignation of Jessica Banotal from the chairwoman of the Lehigh county GOP. Simmons provided text messages between Banotal and Executive Director Trevor Waldon, hatching plans to use the Young Republicans web page to trash Simmons and also to purchase a billboard with Simmons in Nazi garb. This would be an inappropriate use of GOP resources.
The other issue that is being talked about is a plan by Charlie Dent to resign shortly and call for a special elections to fill his seat. The plan seems to be that the state committee will then hand pick the candidate for the special election . The rumor has it that the plan is to place Dents hand picked successor Ryan Mackenzie as his replacement. The Democratic State committee would also pick a candidate.
If Dent still wants to be a congressman why did he drop out of running for another term. To play shenanigans with the process of picking a replacement will only tarnish his reputation for the future. Whether you agree with Dents positions or not, up to now he has had an unblemished career. It would be a shame to end it on a bad note.
The primary process is now underway, there have been several announcements so far and more to come. Let the voters decide who they want to represent them in the future.
Lehigh county chairwoman should resign! She is a looser, just like her boss Dent.
