Riggs, Kolby Zipperer, Candice Stutzriem
Growing the Party: Like Reagan and Trump, how will you propose to
create a “bigger tent” for the EPC GOP, including attracting youth to
join the party?
Speed Round: The state GOP now sends regular newsletters it calls
“RINO Watch” which it purports as pitting the grassroots against the
establishment. Some say the party focusing on outing its own
members is counterproductive in a state in which we’re struggling just
to maintain relevance, others say holding Republicans accountable in
all areas benefits the party as a whole. Where do you stand on “RINO
Watch?”; Do you support or refute it? Would you implement such a
marketing tool in El Paso? Why or why not?
Do you support both the Assembly and Petition process for getting on
the Primary Ballot? And do you support “opting out” of the Primary
under any conditions?
