Republican Chairman Won't Seek Re-Election
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Kosciusko County Republican Party Chairman Mike Gavin said he will not seek re-election for the post.
"I just want to do some other things," said Gavin Monday afternoon.
Instead, Sheriff Aaron Rovenstine has agreed to seek the party chairmanship.
Gavin has been his party's chairman for four years. He said he has accomplished all the things he wanted to see done, including establishing the Young Republicans, getting the party on sound financial footing, purchasing computer equipment and having the party's Web site at www.koscogop.com up and running.
"I'm leaving it in good shape," Gavin said.
He also has increased the number of Republicans in office in the county compared to when he became chairman. Gavin said he will stay involved in the party.
The caucus to elect a new party chairman has yet to be called, but will be March 5. Gavin's term ends the same day.
The functions of the party chairman, according to Gavin, are to run the party organization, conduct fund-raisers, find good candidates to hold office, hold caucuses to find office-holders' replacements or make appointments to offices as needed, and run events like the fish fries or the Hall of Fame dinners.
"Kind of be the face of the party," he said. [[In-content Ad]]
