Tallahassee–Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer today announced his decision to complete his term as RPOF Chairman, forgoing a bid for Central Florida Congressional Seat 24.
“I am grateful to those who encouraged me to seek this office,” said Chairman Greer. “While I certainly appreciate the honor of consideration, I feel at this point in time I can better serve the Republican Party of Florida by completing my second term as Chairman. I look forward to working with Governor Crist and all of our great Republican elected officials, State Executive Committee members and Republicans across Florida to move forward with our efforts to increase the Party’s presence in minority communities, upgrading technology initiatives, the 2009 RPOF Youth Outreach Initiative and the successful implementation and deployment of our voter registration strike teams.”
"Chairman Greer's leadership has been recognized nationally,” said National Committeeman Paul Senft. “Many people, myself included, were confident that Chairman Greer would be a successful candidate in Congressional District 24, but I commend his decision to continue to lead our Party here in Florida.”
