I am proud to have been elected Secretary of the Republican National Committee and I accept my new position with a great sense of responsibility and purpose. Thank you for all you have done on my behalf to make this possible. Our great Party is not about me, Chairman Steele or any one person - it is about you. We have a lot of work to do and I know that we are ready for the challenge! Thank you again for your support and your commitment to building a stronger Republican Party. Over the next few weeks and months I will need your help as we begin a new day of leadership at the RNC. Stay tuned here at SharonDayGOP.com...

Best,

Sharon

Endorsed: Florida's Republican Congressional Delegation


Florida's Republican Congressional Delegation

As Republican members of Florida’s Congressional Delegation we are proud to endorse our National Committeewoman, Sharon Day in her campaign for the position of Secretary of the Republican National Committee.

We can attest to the hard work, dedication and commitment of Sharon as she has worked tirelessly in the trenches at the grassroots level and throughout our very large state. We need to put Sharon’s hard work and leadership skills to work for our party at the national level.

Sharon is a fearless and outspoken grass roots conservative who will help us unite and rebuild our party. Sharon will never ask others to do anything that she is not willing to do herself. In fact, when it comes to politics, she has probably already done it herself.

From fund raising to technology Sharon will not only help but she will lead and inspire. We will appreciate your joining us in supporting Sharon in her campaign for RNC.

Sincerely,

Florida's Republican Congressional Delegation

Endorsed: Republican Caucus of the Florida Senate

On behalf of the Republican Caucus of the Florida Senate, it is with great enthusiasm that we offer our strong endorsement of Sharon Day for Secretary of the Republican National Committee. For more than a decade, Sharon has been a leading voice in Florida political circles, rallying around candidates and campaigns and working relentlessly to further the Republican cause. Her dedication to the Republican platform is unmatched and throughout her time in Florida she has built a powerful network of supporters, fundraisers and volunteers.


Sharon would be an incredible asset to the national party for her detailed understanding of the importance of a strong base and grass roots operations. She also possesses an awareness of both the challenges and opportunities that face our party going forward with clarity of vision of how to strengthen it in the years to come. Sharon has been instrumental in local, statewide and national campaigns and, during the 2008 presidential election, she built the nation's largest coalition in support of the McCain-Palin ticket, and worked tirelessly on Election Day to ensure voter turnout.


Sharon has a firm grasp of Republican principles and has demonstrated the resolve needed to reinvigorate our party. As she continues to work passionately for Republicans across Florida and the nation, we are confident she will contribute greatly to the unity our party needs going into 2010 and beyond. Sharon's vision for our nation, her ability to articulate the conservative message and her optimism for our party's future will enable her to advance our party's platform and influence in the years to come.


It is with tremendous pride that we offer our endorsement of Sharon and we look forward to working alongside her to ensure her and the Party's success.

Endorsed: Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida

I am proud and humbled to have the endorsement of former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush. Today, the following letter was sent to the members of the RNC announcing Governor Bush's endorsement of my candidacy for RNC Secretary.

To the members of the Republican National Committee:

During my campaigns for Governor of Florida, I was very fortunate to have the support of so many grassroots activists who faithfully and tirelessly promoted our message of conservative governance to the people of Florida. Sharon Day was then, and continues to be, one of the Republican Party's hardest working, most active supporters.

Today, I am pleased to endorse Sharon for Secretary of the Republican National Committee.

Sharon has served continuously on the Florida Republican Executive Committee prior to my first election as Florida Governor, and as our state's National Committeewoman at the RNC since 2004. In these roles, Sharon's leadership and ability to mobilize grassroots support for our party's candidates has been exceptional. Sharon's endorsement of RebuildTheParty.com's "Plan for the Future" and her use of technology in her campaign demonstrates that she understands what it will take to win elections in 2010 and beyond, making her a vital resource for the RNC.

As a member of the RNC, I hope you will continue to fulfill your important responsibility to elect leaders like Sharon Day who will effectively assist Republicans in winning elections and stay true to the timeless principles of the Republican Party. Thank you for your consideration of Sharon.

Sincerely,

Jeb Bush

Endorsed: State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida

I am proud to announce that I have been unanimously endorsed by the State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida:

On Saturday, January 10, 2008, the State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida resolved to endorse Florida National Committeewoman Sharon Day in her bid to serve as Secretary of the Republican National Committee.

Sharon is known to be a dedicated servant of the Republican Party, who is committed to the Party’s long held values of less taxing, less spending, less government and more freedom. Additionally, Sharon is dedicated to furthering women’s causes and outreach. She is an example of a strong Republican woman who stands up for her beliefs and leads the way for other Republican women.

Sharon’s understanding of women’s issues combined which her appreciation for new media makes her a great candidate for this position. At this critical time in the history of our party, we need national leaders who have not only and understanding of the history that has made our party great, but a concrete plan, and a vision for where we are going.

The State Committee of the Republican Party of Florida is confident in Sharon’s ability to represent the Party in this capacity and we are proud to endorse and provide our full support to her candidacy.

State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida

Endorsed: Paul Senft, National Committeeman for Florida

To my fellow RNC Members,

Many of you have asked me about my cohort from Florida, Sharon Day. What you see is what you get. Sharon is a hard worker, straight shooter who is independent while being a team player. I am proud to endorse her whole heartedly.

In her home county, Republicans are outnumbered by Democrats but Sharon is a fighter. In 2000 she personally and physically guarded the ballot boxes while waiting for the recount to start. The Democrats (in charge) called police to try to get her removed because she was watching too closely and calling their hand whenever they tried to carelessly leave the boxes unattended.

You will not find a harder worker or a more dedicated conservative Republican than Sharon Day. She is committed and she will never ask anything of others that she is not willing to do herself. She leads by example.

Sharon excels at organizing, fund raising and technology. She will be a great asset to the leadership team for our new RNC Chair. I hope you will join me in supporting Sharon for Secretary of the RNC.

Sincerely,

H. Paul Senft, National Committeeman for Florida

In Case You Missed It: Hands Down, the GOP Needs Sharon Day

Hands Down, the GOP Needs Sharon Day

By Yomin Postelnik Tuesday, January 20, 2009

To help it rebuild, the GOP needs a rare mix of leadership qualities. It needs a visionary who will harness technology to the party’s advantage. It needs a grounded realist who realizes that technology is not an end unto itself and that, while the party is in desperate need of a complete technological overhaul, traditional methods of communication must also be strengthened with equal vigor. The party needs a fighter. At the same time, it needs a conciliatory negotiator who will act as a voice of reason to bring its various factions together to work as one.

The various candidates for RNC Chair each bring with them many of the above aspects. But those who will be right there with them are sometimes even more important. Who we choose as Secretary of the RNC is, in a way, even more important than the chairmanship. While the Chairman will need to spend a large part of his time as the face of the GOP to the media, much of the heavy planning and strategy will go to the rest of the committee. It is with that in mind that I would urge the party to elect Sharon Day as RNC Secretary.

Before I get into Sharon Day’s personal story, her devotion to the party, her competence and her integrity, it is necessary to point out why she is one of the rare mixes of all the ingredients needed to rebuild and revitalize this party. This is an important race. After reading the following information, if you agree that she is indeed the best candidate for the job, I would encourage you to go to http://www.gop.com/Connect/States.aspx, click on your state to contact your state party (specifically your chairman and committee people) and urge them to support her candidacy.

To begin with, Sharon Day has been leading the fight to revamp the party’s technological outreach. “Just having been in Florida alone, we saw the great technological advantage that the Obama Campaign brought with it to the table. It became clear that we were waging a 2008 battle with 2004 technology. That has to change.” Her plan to revitalize technology includes everything from organized social networking to providing operatives and volunteers with the hands on equipment that they need. “Generally, the Obama people knew exactly where to go at all times. Our people were at a serious disadvantage due to the lack of equipment needed to coordinate with them. We must ensure that this does not happen again.”

The case that Day makes for increased technology is compelling. But that is only a small part of the picture. What makes her candidacy unique is that despite her strong advocacy to increase utilization of technology, she does not fall into the trap of believing that technology is a be all and end all unto itself. To Day, it is an important tool, but not an entire marketing plan. She agrees that the failure of the GOP to get its message out to the public must be countered by coordinating with local clubs, college groups and county executives, encouraging them to conduct media write-in campaigns and providing them with the talking points needed to set the record straight in their local areas. She recognizes that this form of outreach is key to shaping the hearts and minds of the public.

But beyond these needed strategy points, who is Sharon Day? She’s someone who possesses that rare mix of qualities, the heart of a fighter and the head of a leader. The former quality was most prominently displayed in each of the past several election cycles when she paid to have her car wrapped top to bottom and bumper to bumper for the GOP presidential nominee.

To many, that may seem to be simply a nice gesture, albeit one that shows tremendous spirit and party loyalty. But given that Sharon Day lives in Broward County, Florida, where conservatives are few (but those who are conservative are strong ones), the act of so openly displaying her support for our party was nothing short of heroic.

In 2004, many cars were keyed for simply having Bush/Cheney bumper stickers. Fortunately for Sharon, nothing happened to her car. She recounts with laughter how people would give her a thumbs down. She’d smile and return a thumbs up and they’d usually go back and forth a few times before driving off. That was in 2004. This past year was another situation entirely.

Day got her car wrapped for McCain. This time, the least she had to worry about was getting keyed. Students would jump off of bus benches and surround her car. One time when she went to fill up on gas, she was chased out of the station. She was surprised, but did she back down? No. Her car stayed wrapped until the end. She plans to do it again in 2012.

Yet she is not oblivious to the dangers. When asked, she readily acknowledges the risks. She just cares more about doing what’s right and isn’t deterred or distracted by other factors.

Day is a fighter, yet one who is conciliatory by nature. More often than not, it takes a combination of those two qualities to get the job done. Day exemplifies both such qualities. When many of her neighbors who she had given McCain bumper stickers took them off their cars amid much more minor cases of harassment than the ones she faced, they were embarrassed to tell her. Day reassured them. She didn’t look down on them, she understood where they were coming from. And without thinking twice, she simply continued to do what she felt she needed to do.

This combination of determination and an ability to work with and influence others will carry over well when it comes to taking a leading role in the party.

Day is a strong conservative. Yet she recognizes that it takes a coalition of diverse people to win. So on the one hand, she will never stop fighting for core Republican values and never abandon her principles for the sake of expediency (or for any other reason). At the same time, she is disarming and seeks to bring others to the fold through reasoning and discussion.

In other words, she’s a leader, and an effective one at that. Her high spiritedness is reserved for her own actions and for campaigns. When it comes to winning over hearts and minds, she uses the convincing but endearing Ronald Reagan approach, a strong ability to communicate that resonates well and is focused on educating others to see the inherent rightness of conservatism. For more information about Sharon Day, readers are encouraged to visit her website, www.SharonDayGOP.com.

We need to support this unique candidate. Only 168 people can vote for RNC Secretary, but we each have a voice. Go to http://www.gop.com/Connect/States.aspx and click on your state and view the contact info for your state. Then email or call your state party chairman and committeepeople. Tell them that the GOP needs a leader like Sharon Day to serve as our next RNC Secretary.

Winning the Technology War

To the Members of the Republican National Committee:

It is no secret to you and me that the Democrats’ technology overwhelmingly beat our Party’s technology in 2008. While we know we were right on the issues, our failure to communicate with the voters across America and effectively raise money online via new technology, cost us too many votes.

From day one of my campaign for RNC Secretary, I have been emphatic about my desire to help the next RNC Chairman ensure that winning the war of technology is the number one priority of the RNC in the next two years. And I haven't just talked the talk.

This week, my campaign for RNC Secretary reached 1,000 followers on Twitter, allowing me to discuss the future of our Party with the people who make our Party run - grassroots activists who are no longer being reached only by home phones and direct mail, but on the internet and on their cell phone screens. I am proud to have been named one of the Top Conservatives on Twitter (TCOT). TCOT Co-Founder, Michael Leahy has publicly endorsed my candidacy saying, "I am personally endorsing Sharon Day to be the next Secretary of the RNC. She gets the importance of tech!"

In addition to Twitter, I have established an active presence on Facebook, YouTube, Blip.TV and I have even made my podcast available on iTunes. You may be asking yourself, "Why would I be using these new technologies"? And my answer would be, "because if we don't use technology from the top down at the RNC, how can we expect to fight and win the war of technology and win elections on the ground"? Technology must be a part of everything we do - not just in our campaigns on the ground, but amongst us - the members of the RNC.

I understand the importance of technology in winning in 2010 and beyond, and I will make it my number one priority if I have the privilege of serving as your next Secretary. That is why today I am proud to publicly endorse the Rebuild the Party Plan for the Future - a 10 point plan that puts technology at the forefront and ensures a stronger Republican Party for years to come.

This is a fight that we must win if we wish to be successful in 2010 and beyond and I am confident that we will be victorious. Join me in making this commitment by voting for me for RNC Secretary on January 30. I look forward to continuing to earn your support and your vote.

Sincerely,

Sharon Day

To the members of the Republican National Committee:

As the leaders of the largest coalition in the nation for the McCain/Palin Campaign, the Florida Women for McCain, we are in the debt of our very fine leader, Florida National Committeewoman, Sharon Day.

It is our collective honor to endorse her candidacy for Secretary of the Republican National Committee.

Sharon is a tireless and talented leader with a firm grasp of Republican principles. She is highly organized and a tribute to all who follow her in leadership. Known for her ability to engage the grassroots, delegate effectively and mentor other upcoming leaders, she was the backbone of our efforts in 2008 and a tribute to the cause.

Under her direction, we were able to grow an organization of more than 12,000 women from all walks of life. Together we made more than one million calls. After the campaign, we reorganized and successfully pulled together hundreds of volunteers from our organization to help lead the efforts to reelect Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss.

We wholeheartedly endorse Sharon for the position of RNC Secretary and look forward to bright leadership in every area as we grow our beloved Party in anticipation of 2010 and beyond.

Endorsed: Top Conservatives on Twitter Individual Members

To the members of the Republican National Committee:

As co-founder of the conservative grass roots movement known as #TCOT (Top Conservatives on Twitter) I am happy to present you with a list of 155 members of our organization (with enthusiastic comments) who are publicly supporting Sharon Day's candidacy for RNC Secretary.

Founded in November of 2008, TCOT has rapidly grown into one of the leading conservative movements on the web, aimed at bringing conservatives together to build a stronger Republican Party.

On January 30, you will be voting for the future of the Republican National Committee when you elect our new RNC officers. Today, we humbly ask for your vote for Sharon Day as our next Secretary of the Republican National Committee.

As conservative online grassroots activists, we believe the future of the Republican Party should be in the hands of leaders like Sharon. From day one of her campaign for Secretary, Sharon has made technology a cornerstone of her campaign with an active blog, a strong presence on Facebook and by continuing to be one of the Top Conservatives on Twitter. She has made it her top priority to work with the next Chairman of the RNC to establish the technology necessary to win in 2010 and beyond.

Sharon is committed to steering the Republican Party back towards the conservative principles of Ronald Reagan and once again becoming the Party of big ideas.

As the leaders in the online conservative movement, we trust that you will see for yourself the amazing work Sharon has already done to strengthen the Republican Party as a National Committeewoman, a community leader and a phenomenal grassroots activist and vote her the next Secretary of the RNC.

Thank you for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,
Michael Patrick Leahy, Co-Founder of Top Conservatives on Twitter


  1. Michael Gallops Says:

    Sharon Day is a breath of fresh air and will do an incredible job as Secretary of the RNC. I absolutely endorse her and will encourage others to do the same.

  2. Timothy Smith Says:

    Her take-no-prisoners, we have a job to do attitude is refreshing. Whoever is elected as RNC Chairman will benefit from her work. As the popular maxim goes: Behind every great man there is a great woman. :-)

  3. Steve Dalton Says:

    I personally endorse Sharon for Secretary of the RNC and appreciate her committment to engaging conservatives nationwide, not just those in the inner circle of GOP groups. Looking forward to a totally new kind of party.

  4. Nansen Malin @nansen Says:

    Sharon Day is an active #TCOT twitter-er. She is witty, articulate and engaging. We would be very fortunate to have her sitting at the RNC Eboard. Her skill set will help reform the party organization quickly. Sharon, You have my support!

  5. Big Dave Perkins Says:

    I’m a Sharon Day fan! She understands precisely what happened in the past two elections and knows what to do to get us back on top… I’m looking forward to seeing the RNC after a short while of her presence in the board meetings!

    Can’t say enough good about her. Wish she were running for chair.

  6. Eric Wall Says:

    I had the opportunity to meet Sharon when she was at our Bay County FL Victory 2008 office with Chairman Jim Greer, and I was impressed. She has my complete endorsement. I knew about the problems that we were having with National during the campaign and Sharon was direct and honest about them during our conference call.
    Hopefully with our efforts the RNC leadership will see the same qualities I do and elect Sharon Day RNC Secretary.

  7. Bill Meeker Says:

    After following Sharon Day on Twitter, reading her website, and listening to her during tonight’s conference call, I have decided that she is a strong leader who will work to rebuild the GOP to win in 2010, 2012 and beyond. I hope that the RNC members will elect her as their Secretary.

  8. Jimmie Says:

    I’m interested to see what Ms. Day will do in the position of Secretary and I’m certainly not impressed with the direction and energy of the RNC recently. I give her my personal endorsement as well. Go, get ‘em, Sharon Day!

  9. Brad Smith Says:

    What else can be said about Sharon? She gets it - on all levels. I echo the sentiments of the previous posters, and I think she’s destined for greater things than a spot on the executive committee. The RNC is privileged to have such a talent at their disposal.

  10. Michael Patrick Leahy Says:

    I endorse Sharon Day for Secretary of the RNC !

  11. LaMonte Forthun Says:

    I was very impressed with Sharon and will support her in any way that I can. I do suggest that we email as many of the RNC Committee as possible and give them our reasons why we support her. I’m thrilled with her track record in organizing the group in Florida and her obvious commitment to the party on a National scale. We are campaigners, it’s what we do, it’s why we are here, we need to campaign for her and let those that will vote know who she is and that we as a group are excited at the possibility that we could have new enthusiasm and drive in the Secretary position with the RNC. The emails are on the TCOT website, there’s no excuse not to send out a few a day…

  12. Michael Illions Says:

    One phone call with Sharon Day was all I needed to convince me that not only is Sharon qualified and the right person for the position of Secretary of the RNC, but she would be a formidable candidate for ANY of the executive positions within the RNC.

    Having someone like Sharon sitting “at the table” in the RNC hierarchy is a win for conservatives and the Republican Party.

  13. Steve Spinks Says:

    Sharon Day has demonstrated that she understands the importance of engaging the citizenry and of transparency in communications. She truly does “get” it! RNC will thrive with her at the helm.

  14. RottDawg Says:

    Wishing her the best and believe that she’s the lady to help the (R) be the winning party of the future.

  15. mikepfs Says:

    I came on the call a little late but I was really impressed with Sharon, her passion really comes thru. I definitely think she’s the right person and my pick for Secretary of the RNC commitee. I’m behind you 100%

  16. Scott Wagner Says:

    I personally endorse Sharon for Secretary of the RNC. Having someone like Sharon n the RNC hierarchy is a win for conservatives and the Republican Party.
