Jones ~ LaPlante! The 'Right' Team for the GOP!

The Right Team, Right Now: Jones-LaPlante 2009

I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and, cutting off all amusements or other employments that would divert his attention, make the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.

- Benjamin Franklin

Dear Fellow Delegate:

As Chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, I’ve tried to follow these words from Benjamin Franklin. My sole focus has been the betterment of the Republican Party in Oklahoma. And through my team’s undivided attention and our solid plan, we accomplished great things in this state. Let me be crystal clear:

I will defend my professional staff and the plan that we carried out to anyone, anytime, anyplace.

I was Chairman when Republicans took over the State House and the State Senate. I recognize that accomplishing those milestones was a team effort that required good candidates and great execution, but this execution was carried out on my watch. Angie and I want to see Republicans elect a Governor and Lt. Governor in 2010. We want to see Republicans in every statewide office. We want to see counties electing Republicans to county offices. We want to see County Republican organizations become more organized and functioning. While we have made great strides in getting everyone to pull on the same end of the rope at the same time, we can still improve.

During my tenure as State Chairman, I have traveled to every corner of Oklahoma. I have worked to make the Party inclusive and welcoming to anyone who wants to become involved. I have empowered the five District Chairman to provide a more decentralized mechanism for dispensing of information and resources. We are fortunate to have five excellent District Chairs that understand what it takes to win races and to build the grassroots. In spite of what we have accomplished, I still believe there is work to do---that's why I am seeking re-election as Chairman and why I have chosen to run on a ticket with Angie LaPlante.

So again, we would be honored to have your support on April 18th. Sincerely, Gary A. Jones & Angie LaPlante
