(commented on October 11th, 2026 @ 8:00 am)Both Carolyn Walker and her husband Randy were actively opposing conservative Republican School Board candidates in the last primary. Their fingerprints are all over the progression of the School Board becoming more and more liberal. Their work resulted in liberals winning two of the three seats they targeted. Pretend Republicans Carolyn and Randy are the Democrat Party's best weapons in Beaufort County.
On primary election night both Walkers were at the Board of Elections crowing about their wins and badmouthing the conservatives that lost as well as the conservatives that won. Part of their public display was a phone call they were carrying on with the former School Superintendent while at the Election Board.
(commented on October 10th, 2026 @ 10:17 am)Mr. Leary has specifically shown how far present-day Beaufort County Republican Party leadership is disconnected from the rules of the Party. They are a rogue organization.
The leadership goes to great lengths to completely avoid answering any pertinent questions. Here are a few they need to answer to their own executive committee:
What was the role of the Victory Committee or individual Victory Committee members in the release and production of a tape and other hitjobs on a private citizen? Why didn't the Victory Committee report to the Executive Committee on its activities during elections and otherwise? Where are the fiscal reports? Has a present-day executive committee vice chairman ever attended or had any knowledge of Victory Committee activities, yet? Why were Executive Committee meetings immediately shut down when members asked these and other legitimate questions?
Also, what was the role of the Victory Committee in the public attacks on a local Republican public official in the local press? We know two of the individual members were actively involved in that episode, and one other Victory Committee member had a conflict of interest because he was a primary opponent of the attacked public official. Was the Victory Committee and or Victory Committee members in communication with the former Beaufort County School Superintendent during that time?
Why has the Party Chairman (and others?) been given the green light to act with the authority of the local GOP on Facebook, oftentimes in attacking conservative Republican public officials? This usually happens with one person saying they are the Party, but recently the Party Chairman has been using the chairman title and her name also.
I suppose these are just a few of the questions the Victory Committee could report to the Executive Committee on. I'm aware of Executive Committee members that are still in the dark on these matters and are wondering. Some would like to know so they can answer questions from the community, because citizens are wanting to know what in the hell is going on in the local GOP.
(commented on October 8th, 2026 @ 4:35 am)Sub committees of committees are (or should be) accountable to the overall committee. They cannot legitimately be formed without the advice and consent of the overall committee. They cannot legitimately operate in secrecy or semi-secrecy. There must be a level of transparency, especially fiscal transparency. In the case of a Republican Party Executive Committee, they cannot operate outside the bounds of the Republican Party Plan of Organization. Organized Republicans cannot allow a sub-committee of an official committee to be the mechanism for getting around official rules and regulations as well as basic ethical rules of conduct.
