Vermont GOP elects Jack Lindley as chair

The Vermont Republican State Committee met in Montpelier this past Saturday and unanimously elected Jack Lindley as the new VT GOP Chair.
"It will take all of our energy and a lot of hard work, but this can and will be a great year for Vermont Republicans," Lindley said. "We are going to engage our neighbors and talk about the issues, and we will lead the way towards greater growth, opportunity and prosperity for all Vermonters."
"Growing our economy and creating new and better jobs for Vermonters is our only hope to save our beautiful state and preserve our quality of life," Lindley continued. "We need to push back against single-party rule in Montpelier, and we need to bring common sense back to the State House."
"Without a check on Governor Shumlin's reckless agenda, we are steamrolling towards a very dangerous place," Lindley said. "Vermont Democrats must be held responsible for the turmoil they have created in our health care system. They must be held responsible for the uncertainty they have created in our energy future. They must be held responsible for the angst and uncertainty they have created for Vermont's small business owners."
Lindley is no stranger to Vermont politics, having served in several high-level political posts over the years. He was Vermont's Republican National Committeeman from 1992 to 1996, and also served as Vermont Chair for three Presidential campaigns: Reagan-Bush (1980) and Bush-Quayle (1988 and 1992). He also served as VT GOP Chair from 1978 to 1981, and VT GOP Treasurer from 1975 to 1978.
