At an ” alternate RNC ” event in Las Vegas, local Republican leaders described a lack of resources from the national party to prepare for the 2024 elections and questioned the GOP apparatus’s leadership following electoral losses.
Johnson County, Kansas, Republican Chairwoman Maria Holiday told Politico, “My county is going to flip to blue if we can’t get control.”
According to her, there aren’t any “effective strategies coming out of the RNC down to the grassroots, and that’s where the people are going to vote. … We’re on our own.”
Despite such charges, the Republican National Committee has said it held more than 73 trainings in 2023 specifically geared toward party activists at the state and local levels. Those trainings featured more than 2,100 attendees across the country. Such trainings for state and local Republicans are offered on a variety of subjects, including communications, data, digital, and political skills.
A person familiar told the Washington Examiner that Holiday attended the RNC’s Midwest Regional Fly-In and county leader training in Columbus, Ohio, last year.
