It has been an honor to serve as your Chairman for the last four years, and I'm so proud of what we've been able to accomplish together. In 2014, we reclaimed the Governor's Office and added 11 new freshmen to Beacon Hill. In 2016, we delivered the most successful presidential cycle for legislative candidates in 30 years. But just as important, we've built a far more robust GOP field organization, empowering thousands of volunteers with the technology and resources they needed. And we've worked hard to provide candidates with the tools they need to be successful.

With President-elect Trump taking office and emboldened GOP majorities returning to Congress, the next several years are an exciting time to be a Republican. We have important work to do here at home, too. We need to defend the Governorship and go on offense in districts across the Commonwealth. And we need to continue our work empowering our grassroots: from training candidates, to strengthening town and city committees, to continuing to develop our digital infrastructure. I've been honored to work on your behalf to make important progress on these priorities, and can't wait to get to work to finish what we've started. The 2017-18 cycle represents a great opportunity, and I'm looking forward to joining you as we strengthen our Party into the future. 

Chairman Kirsten Hughes
