Eric Miller running for RPOF Chairman


Martin County Republican State Comitteeman Eric Miller is running to unseat Jim Greer as state Republican Chairman in January. His platform includes never "interfering" in local and state races, removing the recent language giving the governor and state chair more control over the party, ending "excessive travel and entertainment expenses" and returning to conservative roots.

"Now is not the time for us to move closer to the middle. Doing so will bring us closer to the left. We need now more than ever to return to our Conservative roots. Not doing so will be a continuation of capitulation and fear. We are Republicans. We hold certain values and truths. We need to embrace them and be proud of who we are. We need to let everyone know what it means to be a Republican. We need to give people a clearly defined picture of who we are so we can end the identity crisis that has driven Republicans from our ranks"

"We need unity as a State Party. Our base is slowly eroding. We are losing good solid Republicans to the Independent Voter Roles. We are losing good Republicans that are uncertain what we stand for. We are losing Republicans that are frustrated with the Top down Behaviors of our State Party. And this is troubling."

Miller, 43, operates two technology companies and was communications director for the Duncan Hunter campaign in Florida.

Said RPOF spokeswoman Erin VanSickle: "The RPOF, including our committee members, has been focused on the election. Governor Crist and numerous committee members have clearly expressed their unwavering support for the Chairman's re-election, and the Chairman welcomes the opportunity to discuss the Party's accomplishments and the future of the Party with all Florida Republicans, including Eric Miller."
