Dear Committee Member,

After careful consideration, discussion and encouragement from Republican Committee

members, elected officials, community and business leaders, I am happy to announce my

candidacy for Chairman of the Republican Committee of Lancaster County. Coupled

with an unwavering commitment to the core values of our party, I bring to thechairmanship an array of varied experiences and qualifications.

My experience in serving in all three branches of government, judicial, legislative and

executive and my grassroots experience in leading political campaigns demonstrate thekind of interpersonal and leadership skills which will effectively serve our party. Having

17 years experience in the financial services industry and 6 years in the banking industryis a real asset for our next Chairman to possess for raising funds for our candidates and

Party. With many strong relationships within the county and state, I am a consensus

candidate who represents the best Lancaster County has to offer for such a significant

leadership position.

Foremost, I recognize committee persons are the foundation of our vibrant, active

Party, and I sincerely thank you for your tireless work on behalf of our GOP.

As we continue to face growing challenges from the Democratic Party it is necessary toclearly articulate the Republican message. My goals and vision for the next two years areambitious, yet they can be accomplished. In order to continue to win elections and

effectively govern our communities, we must work to re-unite all of the many factions

into a strong governing coalition. Pursuant to the rules of the Republican Committee ofLancaster County I would appoint the following standing committees.

1. Finance Committee the purpose of this committee would be to evaluate

current finances, assist with preparation of our budget, increase ourfundraising efforts to ensure the election of quality Republican candidates and

the necessary funds needed to maintain an effective Republican Headquarters.

2. Voter Registration Committee the purpose of this committee would be to

pro-actively register Republican voters by increasing our grassroots outreach

efforts to include minority communities, increase voter turnout; and develop awinning plan.

3. Chairman Advisory Council I believe it is necessary in a changing,

prosperous and ever more complex community such as Lancaster County to

demand leadership of the highest quality. Therefore I would appoint to the

Advisory Council individuals representing the business, agriculture, retired

community, minority communities, Young Republicans, WomensRepublican Club and TARs (teenage republicans). Additionally, I will meet

quarterly with our State/County elected officials, and former county chairmen

for their ideas and input. I will make myself available to any republicanofficial to discuss issues and concerns they may have.

The success of any organization is measured by its members. I am committed toworking with each area chairperson and each committee member to accomplish greater

success by ensuring that all voting districts, if possible, are covered by our committee

members and/or other volunteers and renew our efforts to fill vacant committee seats.

In my view, in leading our Party it is important to recognize that if we are not moving

ahead, we are falling behind. If, among other things, we fail to register more Republicans;

fail to fill committee positions; fail to cover our polls on election day and fail to raise

sufficient funds for our Party and our candidates going forward, then we will fall behindin terms of getting our message out to the voters and getting our candidates elected. It

concerns me that we only outnumber the Democrats 54% to 32% in voter registrationpercentages.

If elected as your next chairman, with your help, I pledge to do all I can to increase our

Republican numbers and percentages of registered voters and to serve with excellenceand with the best interest of the Republican Party as our guiding principle. I ask that you

assist me in this effort by giving me your input, ideas and support.

Enclosed please find my resume for your review of my credentials. Thank you for your

consideration and I ask for your vote to serve as County Chairman. I would be happy to

answer any questions you may have and look forward to meeting with you to furtherdiscuss my candidacy.

Sincerely yours,

Greg Sahd
