Alabama Republican Party Chairman Terry Lathan made the following statement about the 2016 Republican Presidential primary elections:
“Recently there has been a lot of discussion and opinions surrounding the upcoming nomination of the Republican candidate for President of the United States. While everyone is welcome to their personal opinions in the process to choose our candidate, the ultimate decisions are made from the voters. No person, committee, or group chooses the Republican Party nominee. The people do.”
“We have a clear, transparent procedure that we follow on election day. With record breaking Republican primary votes being cast this year, we welcome and will listen to the choices that our voters make. As we continue throughout this election season, we will keep our eye on the ultimate goal – to win the White House and stop Hilary Clinton. With the will of the people of our nation, we will succeed.”
“The Republican Party does not endorse or get involved in our primary process-
that is the job of those who cast their ballots. I have personally sent a message to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus with multiple concerns I have received from citizens throughout the state. He is also making it very clear that our party, is not, and will not take sides in any primary.”
The link below is an article where Chairman Priebus makes this clear:
“It is an exciting time to be a Republican as we watch a very engaged electorate choose our nominees in our state and nation. There shall be one goal for all of us-
end the liberal occupation of the White House in November 2016. We must take our country back, and the GOP plans to do just that.”
