GOP CHAIRMAN WAYNE PARKES MAY 3 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CANDIDATES CHOICES
Dear Fellow Republicans–
Many voters tell me they do not vote in the Primary because they do not know all the candidates and/or the qualifications needed for the various offices on the ballot.
Below is a list of Republicans running on the 2016 Primary ballot. Many Republican voters have ask who I am going to vote for in the Primary. I have decided to publicly share who I think is the best Republican Candidate and who I will be voting for in the Primary. My choices are indicated below in “HIGHLIGHTED IN BLACK”.
I suggest you take this list with you to the polls to use as a reference while voting.
We are very fortunate to have many good Republicans running for office in 2016. Vote for the person you wish to be elected in November. You now know what the Republican Chairman thinks.
It is OK to pass this email on to others.
Be sure to encourage others to vote.
Thanks.
Wayne Parke

Todays “Readers Poll” question is: Do you feel that the Vanderburgh County GOP Chairman Wayne Parke should publicly endorse candidates running in the Republican primary?
Kasich, like Wow.
Pretty telling that he chose Kasich, you are right.
Cause it means he won’t support Trump or Cruz. To repeat – An establishment Republican, Wayne Parkes, will not support the two, clearly leading GOP Presidential candidates, Trump or Cruz. Big trouble for the GOP’s chances to win in November when you have this kind of clear and certain resistance to the probable Republican Presidential Nominee. Obviously not all GOP voters, but certainly many….will vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the next President before they vote for Trump or Cruz. The Republican Party – nationally – is a dumpster fire.
“dumpster fire” Good one. I think they all are dumpster fires.
Picking the deadbeat Schmitt over the accomplished Cheryl Musgrave shows about all you need to know about Dog Parke’s desire for good governance.
Right B. Reminds me of….”The Prizzi’s will eat their children before they’d part with their money.”
I suspect that the entire list of Parke personal endorsements was just a ploy for him to push for the hand-picked Winnecke rubber-stamp, Alex Schmitt. The internal poll likely shows him losing to the better choice, Cheryl Musgrave. I wonder if Parke remembers the tradition of the local “slating conventions” when committeemen chose a “slate” of party backed candidates for the primaries. I bet he won’t be bringing those back any time soon.
Amen Brother Dana!
Wayne puckered up and gave the spoiled brat a big wet kiss of death.
Solid pick with Gov. Pence.
We know now which slate of candidates the local establishment thinks would be the most likely to insure their continued grip on power in Evansville/Vanderburgh county. Now sit back and watch the money pour into their campaigns.
Thanks, Mr. Parke, I definitely feel more confident in my selections; considering they do not match any of your endorsements. I will especially avoid any of Mr. Winnecke’s endorsements. As I never believe anyone who talks out the side of their mouth.
Well it could be worse Wayne Park ran for delegate t o national convention thankfully he lost
