2020 Manatee County Republican Party Volunteer of the Year

Keep Me Working For You!

The State Committeewoman represents Manatee County on the leadership team of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) and on the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee.

Manatee County Republicans Face Unprecedented Challenges

Too much power is concentrated in the RPOF (Republican Party of Florida).  The local Republican Executive Committee (REC) has become virtually irrelevant.

Vacancies of county positions are being filled by unqualified appointees favorable to special interests. The Manatee County REC should fill vacancies such as County Commissioners, School Board members and other officers like the Supervisor of Elections (SOE)

Communication and transparency are both being ignored. We are being forced to accept unfettered growth without making the developers pay their share of impact fees. The result is traffic gridlock and building in our wetlands and watershed areas. This madness must stop.

Addressing These Challenges Will Require Teamwork

Engaging the RPOF

We elect a chair and an RPOF Board that focuses on strengthening the local executive committees.

Filling Vacancies

The Florida Constitution Article 1.1(f) and section 100.111 of the Florida Statutes give our Governor the power to make appointments to fill vacancies in our local Government. We need a constitutional amendment and the RPOF needs to take on that responsibility to adopt an Amendment to the Florida Constitution taking that power away from the Governor and returning it to the REC.

Local Control

It's the responsibility of the RPOF through the power of endorsements to make the legislature adopt legislation favorable to local control and to honor the wishes of the citizenry rather than those of special interests.

"I've known Sandy Piper since she moved to Manatee County and she is honestly one of the hardest workers I know... I highly recommend Sandy Piper as our next State Committeewoman."

I Am Dedicated To Improving The Manatee County Republican Party

Since moving to Manatee County 9 years ago, I have dedicated my life and financial resources to the Republican Party and given both my time and my financial support to getting Candidates elected from President Trump to Federal, State and local races.

I am passionate about politics and wish to continue making a difference by becoming your next State Committeewoman.
