Standing up for the 55,000 conservative voters in Washtenaw County
James Stewart [email protected] 7346747372 My Name is James Stewart.
Isaiah 10:1
Woe to those who enact evil statutes
And to those who constantly record unjust decisions,
It’s time for a change in leadership. God requires us to do what is just and what is right and that is more acceptable to him than sacrifice according to proverbs 21:3. Serving on the executive committee will require just that serving others and doing the right things. Washtenaw needs educated delegates and people who seek the will of God and not their own elevation of identity.
Jay Clark [email protected] 734-250-1439 My name is Jay Clark, I am a first term delegate.
I am a constitutional conservative, and therefore believe that our rights come from God, not from the government or elected officials.
Like many of you, I decided to become a delegate as I witnessed the acceleration of the erosion of our rights during our state's lockdowns. I believe in parent's rights, education reform, fair and transparent elections, and promoting small business in our state.
Since being elected delegate last August, I have participated in the County and State conventions, distributed literature and signs in my precinct and phoned precinct voters. I am very motivated and will work hard as an Executive Committee member.
Robin Kind Jr. [email protected] 7347779999 I would like to focus the EC on what matters. Being a guiding light for our community. Standing for conservative values and pointing to Jesus. We have lost focus as a party. We need to readjust.
Mary Oesterle [email protected] 7346782905 My name is Mary Oesterle and I am a speech-language pathologist with the Jackson County ISD. I’m a constitutionalist and believe strongly in maintaining individual liberties and freedoms, which lead me to become involved local city council campaigns in the 1990’s and off and on since then. In 1996, I helped assist the Dole Campaign with planning and logistics for Bob Dole’s visit to Chelsea. The lockdowns and loss of freedoms we encountered as well as the 2020 election led me become a precinct delegate and to join a group called Make Americans Free Again. I support the group’s goals of freeing Americans from government tyranny and addressing all medical mandates. Supporting our veterans has also always been near and dear to my heart and why I served as vice president and president of Manchester Legion Auxiliary in 2002 and 2003 respectively.
James (Jim) Burmeister [email protected] 734-429-5703 Fellow delegates, my name is Jim, and I am putting my hat in the arena for Executive Committee. I am a new precinct delegate from Freedom Township. Our County GOP needs to join to unite for the good of our Nation.
I will bring leadership and wisdom to our Executive Committee to support and respect all precinct delegates.
Past experiences;

  [email protected] 7342181223 My name is Miriam Corvino and I’m a Precinct Delegate in Salem Township, Precinct 2. I hope you’ve been getting my emails! And I hope you’ll vote for me to be part of our next Executive Committee.
Like many, my journey started in November 2020, followed by:
• Protesting Mask Mandates for my children
• Homeschooling my Kindergartner and Fifth Grader
• Making public comment at local and state school board meetings
• Traveling across multiple counties to meet on Public Education issues
• Participating at the Washtenaw GOP Legislative Action Committee and Take Back Our Schools Subcommittee
• Coordinating events to educate my community on Public Education influences (SEL/DEI/CRT)
• Running as Candidate for South Lyon Community Schools Board of Education
• Campaigning with PDs and Candidates from Washtenaw, Oakland and Livingston Counties
In parallel to my focus on Public Education, I:
• Attended my first EC Meeting in January 2022
• Attended the Spring County Convention and the Spring State Convention as an Alternate
• Attended the Fall County Convention and the Fall State Convention as an America First Precinct Delegate
• Accepted a volunteer role as Co-Chair of the Campaign Committee in mid-August
• Represented the Washtenaw-GOP to the Tudor Dixon Campaign for signs and literature
• Was one of two local school board candidates invited to headline at a Tudor Dixon event
• Scheduled Matt DePerno for a Washtenaw GOP Fundraiser Dinner
• Pulled off some really fun events with some great Patriots that included all of our Precinct Delegates
• Prayed A LOT
I met many of you making phone calls or as you were picking up signs/lit and I was so encouraged to know firsthand how busy you were doing your own impactful parts. I hope you will consider me as a Candidate for our Executive Committee so I may make even more meaningful contributions toward becoming a powerful and productive GOP. Please feel free to ask me for recommendations!
Lisa D Gubaci-Root [email protected] 7346638408 I will boast not of myself, but of the Lord God of my heart & soul. It is His will, not mine, that guides my life. It is He who has called me to such a time as this. To bring unity and hope to His people. I choose to walk in faith, not by sight. I will not compromise nor bow down to money or power for they both corrupt the hearts of men. I will stand on God's truth and do what He has called me to do I will always pray that the Lord Jesus Christ goes before me and prepares the way. This is what I want you to know about me!
Janet Riggs [email protected] 734-358-1106 My name is Jan Riggs, and I am running for election to the Executive Committee of the Washtenaw County GOP.
I became involved with this group, working the phone banks for the McCain/Palin campaign in 2008. I returned to work the phones for the Romney/Ryan campaign in 2012. I have walked in parades for candidates and was elected Precinct Delegate this past August. During the November election, I was part of the Absentee Ballot Vote Count Board in the City of Ann Arbor.
Before retiring from the University of Michigan, I worked as Research Administrator in several different colleges. This position requires the ability to manage competing deadlines and provide clear communication to different stakeholders. These skills plus the ability to think creatively to solve a problem will help me to be an effective member of the Executive Committee.
My passion is to provide behind-the-scenes support to whoever needs it. This can be organizing training materials for Precinct Delegates to access as well as resources on how to present your ideas to someone who does not agree with you and the best form of persuasion to use; organizing events from set up to tear down; and working with candidates and their campaigns in whatever way is needed. Focusing on our County is the first step to changing the state.
Samantha Strayer [email protected] (734) 652-9727 Hello! My name is Samantha Strayer, and I am running for the WCGOP Executive Committee, eager to work hard and make changes that will positively impact what and how we do things at the county and state levels. I realized after the 2020 election that the only way to effect real change is at the local level.
About me in a nutshell:
* Hillsdale College – Director of Publications and Deputy Editor of Imprimis
* Freelance writer — published at The Federalist, RealClearPolitics, and American Greatness
* America First, MAGA
* B.A. (UC Irvine) and M.A. (Hillsdale College) in politics
* County captain for Michigan Precinct First — recruiting, training, connecting
* First-time Precinct Delegate
* Canvassed on behalf of candidates and against all three propositions
* Created and mailed 400 postcards to voters in my precinct against Prop 3
* Wrote Letter to the Editor in support of our great Chelsea school board candidates
The WCGOP’s mission is to defeat Democrats and their radical agenda. The EC is not a club. Politics is not a game. This is about the future of our country. At a bare minimum, we should throw sand in the gears to stop or slow down whatever the Left wants to do. But we can do much, much more.
As a member of the EC, I wish to lead our public relations and communications efforts, so that we have a strong presence online and improve voter engagement. My focus will be victory in 2024, working around the obstacles the Left has put in our way. My approach is straightforward: save the county, save the state, save the country.
Please help me do just that with your vote. Thank you!

John K. Piatt [email protected] 7347308570 John K. Piatt, PD
Executive Committee Candidate
I’m a resident of Chelsea, Michigan, married to my wife Jenny and have two children: John and Avery. John graduated Chelsea High School in 2021, and attends Ferris State University, and Avery is a junior at Chelsea High School.
I’m a professional land surveyor and business owner, operating Piatt Land Surveying, Chelsea, Michigan.
Following the 2020 election, I did not feel that a good portion of our country was being represented, and with potential voter fraud being the sole culprit for a loss of freedom, I felt compelled to do something. During the recent primary election, I was elected precinct delegate for Lyndon Township.
The ability to serve on the Executive Committee is a chance to motivate others and campaign for good people to fill key roles in the Republican Party. We need strong leaders who will advocate for the quiet conservatives across this great nation.
I’m not a politician, but a concerned citizen, parent, and defender of democracy. I feel our country is on a path towards socialism if things don’t change course. Our effort is needed to protect our freedoms, protect democracy, and keep our children free from political bullying in the schools.
In the 2022 election, I campaigned for the Chelsea School Board, and unfortunately, lost after a long campaign. I refuse to let this change my determination to do what is right, defend our beliefs, not only for our way of life, but for future generations.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with others in the Republican Party, support candidates that share our conservative views and will work to defend our freedom. I will use my business background for campaign networking, fundraising, and assistance to others running for office.
I appreciate your support.
Ron Howdyshell [email protected] 2486055295 I would like the opportunity to serve on the Washtenaw County Executive Committee. I have been a precinct delegate for Lima Township since 2016. During that time, I have attended all county meetings and conventions, attended all state conventions except for the August 2022 convention. I was the alternate delegate to the 2020 National Republican Convention for our district. I have been a poll challenger and for the last two elections worked as an election inspector. I participated in the 2016 and 2020 Trump presidential campaigns and attended the inauguration in 2016.
In my township I have been a member of the Board of Review for property taxes for the past seven years; a trustee (alternate) on the Chelsea Area Fire Authority for six years; and a member of the Lima Township Planning Commission since 2020.
Professionally I have worked in operation management roles primarily in the automotive industry throughout my 37 year career. I retired in 2021. I believe my background developing and leading organizations and working with people at all levels to improve the effectiveness of the organization will help me serve as a member of the Executive Committee.
My background as an engineer leads me to be data driven. I think understanding the voting data from this last election is an important part of moving the party forward to greater success in 2024 and beyond.
Rodney Udell [email protected] 7346789912 I am a high voltage electrician at the University of Michigan with 30 years of experience. I inspect electrical equipment to ensure that it is safe to use and has the ability to install new electrical wiring and fixtures all around the University of Michigan.
I have always possessed an interest in what happens within our state, country and world. Recently, I decided that to make an impact in what happens I needed to become more actively involved.
In 2022 I ran for a delegate position in Washtenaw County. I work hard and am always looking for ways to make things better.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, camping up north, hunting and reading.
Marc Boone [email protected] 734-417-8361 I am a retired plumber, member of Local 190. I hope we can use our wide range of experiences to reach out to more people.
Dee Davey (wears a Hat) deedavey@protonmail 7342331513 An America-First grassroots Patriot, I will help heal our party, and unite the people within this group through open and transparent dialog – open meetings where ALL are invited. America is in a state of crisis. We should not tolerate division and must all unite together to overcome the evil around us.
War Room inspired me to become a PD in 2022. Without Wash-gop guidance, I took the “Just Do It” approach to educate myself. As an EC member, I will change the onboarding process and help new PDs become effective and make a difference like I have:
• Recruited and organized Salem PDs; achieved full coverage of precinct door knocking
• Personally knocked 600+ doors to sign petitions, “get out the vote”, and educate neighbors on evil Props
• Designed / distributed Primary and Mid-Term Precinct-Specific voter guides; “Precinct Team” flyer with all PD contact information for constituents
I chair the Washtenaw Election Integrity Task Force, a small but effective group under the umbrella of Pure Integrity for Michigan Elections an issue-based, nonpartisan political movement that welcomes all who support election integrity and the US and Michigan Constitutions.
Through my leadership our group has
• Obtained information to support investigations / legislative action
• Recruited Poll Inspectors / Challengers
• Enhanced understanding of election processes - security and vulnerability
I am a retired Services Product Manager and business professional, with a talent for viewing organizations from a process perspective. I am gifted with an ability to see the big picture and at the same time competently manage detail.
Having lived outside of the US for 30 years, I also have a view of the world from a broader perspective. I understand the implications of the Global Reset. I am aware that the global agenda has wide sweeping tentacles that may also be embedded in the GOP.
Sandra Aquino [email protected] 734 730 4645 I am a retired biology teacher of nearly 30 years with Ann Arbor Public schools. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in physical science. I am very concerned about the divisiveness caused by the educational policies in our communities with regard to Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Not only are these policies divisive, but they are also detrimental. They are contrary to critical thinking and an excellent education.
I think my experience as a teacher gives me a unique perspective that would be valuable to the county Executive Committee. I think I would be a good fit for the public relations and outreach committees. This past fall, I organized a neighborhood conservative coffee group. We meet once a month to talk with likeminded people. It has been very rewarding as conservatives have felt very isolated and alone. I wish to expand our group and hope it serves as a model for what others can do in their communities to bring people together.
Brian Bennett [email protected] 248-486-6101 I'm a recently added PD for Salem pct. 1 and while fairly new to activism have been a Republican my whole adult life.
My 1st opportunity to vote for President was cast for Reagan.
While door knocking our area I was glad to confirm that most R's share Judi's and my view that as a Party we need to solidly embrace America First values.
I'm a NRA Life Member a Range Safety Officer, as we enjoy the shooting sports as a hobby.
I've also held past BoD positions in a couple of Sports Car clubs (another hobby ;-),so have some understanding of how volunteer organizations work.
Thank you for your consideration,
Brian
Michael Strother [email protected] 7343250650 Dear Fellow Washtenaw County Party Republicans,
I am thankful for the Washtenaw County GOP Committee and glad to be part of the work to achieve Republican ideals. As a member of the Executive Committee I want to lead the further development of our Issues Committee, and a meeting to discuss issues at the Birthplace of the Republican Party in Jackson, Michigan. This last September I organized the Issues Committee meeting in Jackson. The meeting idea came from our Issues Committee discussion regarding our Washtenaw County campaign messaging website banner. The banner highlighted the Jackson historical marker and our candidates for office. In 2023, the “OAK CONFERENCE” issues meeting is envisioned to be a collaborative effort on the part of fellow Republicans from other GOP Committees who now regularly attend our Issues Committee meetings.
GOP Under the Oaks Historical Marker https://www.jacksonmich.com/markers/mark1.htm
As a current member on the Executive Committee I would like to ask for your continued support. I will work to organize our group to develop our position on issues and to elect Republican candidates to office. I would like to ask for your vote to continue in my position on the Executive Committee.
On December 15th please mark your calendar for our Christmas Party at Aubree’s at 39 E. Cross Street, in Depot Town, Ypsilanti. This event will support homeless veterans. Please see the flyer posted on the website for details.
Thank you,
Michael Strother
Anna Hoffman [email protected] 5172627766 I am a paralegal by trade but more importantly, a mother of three young children.
I got involved in local politics in 2020 when I launched a grassroots parent group to fight the unnecessary and prolonged school closures at Ann Arbor Public Schools. Through this two year experience, I made contacts statewide, learned about Michigan’s broken education system, and became a strong school of choice advocate. In the process, I became public enemy number one to the liberal elite in Ann Arbor, and have made it my mission to challenge their radical agenda every chance I get.
I have experience with nonprofit management, PAC management, fundraising, marketing, event planning, testifying in Lansing, and contact with conservative Michigan media members and legislators. Most recently, I’ve been involved in identifying candidates for local school boards, researching policy, writing publications, and promoting campaigns and candidates. I was recently accepted to the Conservative Leadership Institute Training for Capitol Hill Staff in Washington DC.
I believe Washtenaw County has a strong and talented Republican base and we are best when we work together toward our common goal of protecting the Constitution by defeating the toxic progressive agenda that threatens our families, our freedom, and American values.
Ruthie Freeman [email protected] 7346789365 I'm interested in getting on the Executive Committee to find solutions and bring uplifting positive energy to our team. I am a strong Republican and I am willing to recruit others and continue to learn, share and build our team. I will do the best I can for our Washtenaw GOP.
I became a Precinct Delegate August 2022.
Other duties: setting up events, getting signatures on 3 different petitions 9-2020 thru 1-2022.
Secretary MAFA Make Americans Free Again.
Attending Board of Education meetings.
County Captain for Garrett Soldano for Governor.
In charge of 4 chapters on social media.
Campaign Mgr. for Trenda Eversole for Sylvan Twp. Clerk.
Door knocking, leaving literature, supporting all candidates in the area.
Election Inspector 11-2022.
 
Polly McNichol [email protected] 734-646-3899 Please consider voting for me, Polly McNichol, for the WGOP Executive Committee.
A little about me:
- Graphic Designer
- Small business owner (I maintain the website for that business)
- Farmer
- Retired (from automotive design)
- Testified to the wholesale fraud I saw as a Poll Challenger in 2020 at the TCF Center
- Ran for Whitmore Lake School Board in 2022
- Current member of the Executive Committee
- Precinct Delegate
What I would like to see for the WGOP going forward:
WGOP needs branding and marketing. So do the MiGOP and the RNC, but WGOP is more realistic. I think improving the image of Republicans can actually change minds.
Another passion of mine lately is election integrity. And now, with the passing of Prop 2, we'll have more problems than ever before. I'd like to to see the WGOP join forces with successful election integrity groups to see if we can further their efforts. If we don't fix the election fraud, all is for naught.
Marcello Maccani [email protected] 7344892560 Previous campaign experience working for the Republican Presidential campaign in 2012 as well as working with primary congressional candidate Rocky Raczkowski in 2018. Current student at Hillsdale College, graduating in 2024. I am seeking to establish a youth wing of the Washtenaw County GOP. Unfortunately, resources have been wasted by not reaching out to the young voter demographic. I intend to work alongside University of Michigan as well as Eastern Michigan College Republican organizations, as well as other youth groups, to organize and mobilize young Republicans in the county. As the second youngest precinct delegate in Washtenaw, I have a unique position in understanding young voters and the issues that motivate them.
I have experience in campaigning to understand the ground effort needed to make an effective movement by the grassroots and know I will be capable of bringing new and creative direction to the party. By voting for me, you are endorsing a grassroots movement to reinvigorate the Washtenaw County GOP and introduce more young voters to conservative politics. By focusing on the future of the American electorate, we can begin to make effective changes in Washtenaw that will strengthen the GOP for generations. Change begins with our youth, and we will never effectively reach them by ignoring them. I humbly ask for your vote so that we can no longer ignore the youth of Washtenaw County and effectively use our resources to change the direction of our county and state.

Jason Rogers [email protected] 734.239.5067 I decided to get involved in politics when I realized how much the Marxist, communist, and socialist agendas have taken over our country. Marx is famous for stating that two of his goals were to destroy capitalism and dethrone God. For many years, I thought Christians ought to stay out of politics because "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." (2 Timothy 2:4) But I realized late in 2019 that was a myopic and incorrect view of the Scriptures. I want to be more involved in our local politics precisely because I'm a believer and am called to thwart the attacks of the Enemy as much as possible. I believe the focus and drive of The Left is directly inspired by the Enemy, as can been seen in the works of Marx, Alinsky, Sanger, and pretty much the entire Democratic Party these days.
 
I'm a Software Engineer with almost 24 years of experience in the industry, and can bring a great deal of know-how and professionalism to our county GOP's digital footprint. I love working in the background. I'm generally amenable, approachable, and very teachable. I'm passionate about using technology for the general good, about protecting our children, and protecting our elections.
Annette Kennedy [email protected] 5179145124 Notable trait: I am fearless in defending our Constitutional Freedoms!
In the past 10 years I have worked diligently to promote Republican candidates and grow our party.

-trained teens to go door-to-door for candidates
Other areas of service:
-recruited candidates for County Commissioner, City Council, Township Trustee
-recruited and trained many Precinct Delegates
-supported many national, state and local candidates (went to thousands of doors, made phone calls, promoted fundraisers, distributed signs, coordinated donations for school board candidates)
-set-up and worked the Republican booth at fairs/festivals
-worked many elections
-organized parades
I greatly increased the number of members of WCGOP and the number of Precinct Delegates in our county.
I am passionate about all things Republican but my gift is Outreach. I will continue to grow the WCGOP with a particular focus on youth. They are our future!
Steven Hoover [email protected] 734-545-3739 I am a lifelong conservative and have served on many boards at church etc., but realized I studied and talked politics but didn't really get involved. I ran for PD and went to the state convention to change that. I believe the EC should be a service committee and should be committed to listening to, equipping, and serving their fellow PDs, which is what I pledge to do if elected.
Angela Dahms [email protected] 2483424784 I have a passion especially for local politics. I have a conservative mindset, strong organization skills and a work ethic that won’t quit!

I currently work in the service industry as a hairstylist, the business manager at a successful local small business and have worked at a catering/events planning company.

I have a BS from Eastern Michigan University in Hospitality and have work the majority of my life in the field. I was a stay-at-home mother of three boys and I currently attend Northridge Church in Plymouth, Michigan. I hope to be able to offer my experience in the field to help contribute to the expansion and success of the MAGA movement and returning integrity to the election process.
Sincerely,
Christy Anderson
Richard Bollinger [email protected] 734-645-7170 I think the next two years will be exciting and require a lot of work on the part of the local GOP. I have been on this committee some decades ago. I am retired now which means I am an entrepreneur again and my workload will increase. The saying is, "If you want to get something done, find someone already busy to do it."
So, I need to get busy on all fronts.
Right, Wyck?
Rick

Tawn Beliger [email protected] 7347280779 My husband (Gerry Hermann) and I have been active in the Legislative Action Committee and the Take Back Our Schools Committee. I was elected as a Trustee in Northfield Township in 2016 where I strived for protecting people's rights and fighting the expansion of local government. I endeavor to bring energy, inspiration, networking, and to share the political experience I have thus far obtained.
