April 2, 2008, Palmyra VA. The Fluvanna Republican Committee elected Douglas R. Johnson as Chairman this evening. Doug said “I intend to pull people in rather than push people out” in his two minute speech as an attempt to unite the various wings of the party.

Party unity was also stressed by representatives of the candidates for the state wide elections and our federal elections. The Fluvanna Republicans are united in their support for the re-election of Virgil Goode as our Fifth District Congressman and the election of John McCain as President.

Mr. Johnson will be heading up the delegations to both the State Republican Convention in May along with the 5th District Convention later this month.

In Mr. Johnson’s first official act, he called the next meeting to be Thursday, April 10, 2008 at the old Courthouse. Details will be posted on the official website: http://fluvannarepublican.org/

Mr. Johnson has also re-instated Luther White as Precinct Captain of the Rivanna District. A full slate of officers will be presented at the April 10th meeting.

Mr. Johnson thanked the contingency from The Fluvanna Rotary Club for coming out in his support. Doug is a Charter Member of the group that meets on Wednesday mornings at the Lake Monticello Club House.

He also thanks his Weight Watcher friends who also came in support. Doug has recently lost over 75 pounds through the Weight Watcher group that meets at the Lake Monticello Fire House on Monday mornings.

Doug also is on the Steering Committee of the newly formed Fluvanna Taxpayers Association and received support from individuals who appreciated him speaking to the Board of Supervisors and the School Board multiple times.

Special thanks is also given to the past members of the Fluvanna Republican Committee who came together to complete the coalition.

While some did not support Doug, he hopes they will join with him to help the party be stronger through this process. He says “I am committed to healing. I offer my hand in friendship. I will work with whoever is willing.”
