Tom Morrissey Endorsed By Sheriff Joe Arpaio For Maricopa County Republican Chairman (MCRC)

I am pleased to announce my endorsement for Tom Morrissey for Chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Committee.

Tom and I have known each other for over 20 years. We first met as fellow law enforcement officers, I was the newly elected Sheriff and Tom was the Chief Deputy US Marshal for Arizona. Over the years, we have worked together for the benefit of the community and the Republican party.

When Tom served as the AZGOP chairman, I saw how hard he worked and how successful he was during a very difficult and challenging presidential election cycle. He raised the money we needed for critical elections, upgraded the headquarters, and most importantly, developed relationships with minority community leaders.

While Tom had to step down for necessary knee replacement surgery, he is back and ready to work for us again. I am looking forward to working with him once again, in a leadership position in our Party.

Aaron is a committed conservative, who works extremely hard to advance the principles we so strongly believe. Aaron will work well with the MCRC, the legislative districts in Maricopa County, and with the Arizona Republican Party to ensure future Republican victories in 2016 and beyond.

Aaron Borders announces candidacy for MCRC position

Aaron Borders for 2nd Vice Chair MCRC

Phoenix - Aaron Borders announced his candidacy for 2nd Vice Chair of the Maricopa County Republican Committee. Formerly, Aaron was the Republican candidate for Arizona House of Representatives in LD 29 this past election cycle.

 

Upon announcing his candidacy for this position, Borders said: "One of the job responsibilities of the 2nd Vice Chair is to be the liaison between the MCRC, Republican clubs and legislative districts. With my organizational skills, I believe I am uniquely qualified to run for this position. Along with being involved in my legislative district, some of my experience includes founding and building the West Valley Youth Sports Commission, and being a former Recruiting Chair for NAIFA West Valley.

 

"Unlike many of the individuals running for MCRC positions, I am running independent of a slate. I feel that it could compromise my effectiveness to serve should I run as a part of a slate and should I later win the opportunity to serve the MCRC. My mission as 2nd Vice Chair will be to discover the best practices of each Republican group and legislative district in order to share it with others. I commit to you that I will work extremely hard to maintain successes within the party, that I will do what it takes to get out the vote in 2016, and that I will help recruit independent conservatives back to the party. 

 

"All of these election metrics mean absolutely nothing without Republicans holding strong to the principles and values that our party has held for decades. I am a rule-of-law conservative. I am a social conservative, and I am a fiscal conservative. As 2nd Vice Chair of the MCRC, I will not compromise what I - nor what this party - believes in on any issue.

 

"Recently, I ran for the legislature in LD29, which has been long been a Democrat stronghold. Although I lost, the results were much better than many expected. My hard work in that district shows that I am unafraid to take on challenges and that I can exceed expectations for the benefit of the Republican Party. I want to thank the outgoing 2nd Vice Chairman Jose Borrajero for his service to the party. Jose was one of my biggest supporters as I ran for the LD29 House seat and I was very grateful for his support. 

 

"The MCRC election is Saturday, January 10, 2015. I ask for your support and vote."
