Why Tim O’Hare is the Man to Lead the TCGOP

David W. Wylie is a tremendous asset to the Tarrant County Executive committee and I hope that he will continue to be such.  David goes above and beyond his duties in helping the party, and I greatly appreciate his efforts.  That being said, I do not believe David Wylie is the man to lead the Tarrant County Republican Party.

Under David Wylie’s leadership the Tarrant County Republican Party has allowed party resources to be used by known Democrat operatives such as Shane Hardin.  These Democrat operatives have been permitted to utilize our own party resources to attempt to influence the Tarrant County Republican Party. Specifically under Wylie’s leadership chairing the Technology Sub-committee (which currently oversees the party Facebook group), Shane Hardin, and many other Democrat operatives have had unmoderated use of the Tarrant County Republican Party Facebook Group owned by the Tarrant County Republican Party.  They have used the page without restraint to undermine and attack conservatism, our party platform, and the party itself with no real resistance from current party leadership. 

As I have said, David Wylie is a great asset to the party, but I just don’t believe he has the strength of leadership to lead the TC GoP.  Yes we should have a big tent and have openness, but that openness does not mean that we allow our TCGOP party resources to be exploited by Democrat Operatives.

I believe Tim O’Hare has the leadership ability to balance openness with mission.  Yes we should have an open tent, but we should not surrender control of that tent to known Democrat operatives such as the notorious Shane Hardin. 

Tim O’Hare demonstrated his leadership ability as mayor of Farmer’s Branch, not only in taking a tough stand against the problem of illegal immigration, but also in leaving the city with the lowest percentage of operating budget going towards debt that at any point in its history of over fifty years!  As a former Mayor, O’Hare knows how to chair and how to organize.  I believe Tim O’Hare has the vision to guide our party into the future.  And that is why I have endorsed Tim O’Hare for Tarrant County Chair.
