McCabe, OAN National Political Correspondent<br \/>UPDATED 2:01 PM PT \u2013 Wednesday, August 31, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>The vice chairman of the Ohio Republican Party told OAN his and his pro-Trump allies have the votes to oust Robert A. Paduchik as the chairman of the state party at the Sept. 9 meeting of the party\u2019s Central Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m running for state party chairman to replace Bob Paduchik,\u201d said Bryan C. Williams, who served in as a state representative and is now a member of the University of Akron\u2019s board of trustees.<\/p>\n<p>Williams said he met with the chairman three weeks after the Aug. 2 Central Committee elections, so he could tell him that he would launch his challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The vice-chairman said he supported Paduchik to replace Jane Timken in February 2021, when Timken resigned to run for the Senate. At the time, Williams was the acting chairman, but he felt Paduchik\u2019s skills and experience running grassroots campaigns would help the party stay connected with the voters.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, once the chairman got the job, it was as if the state party central committee hired Paduchik and then Paduchik fired the committee, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has not followed our party bylaws, and he\u2019s done it to the detriment of those who want a more open, more collaborative and more inclusive process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Paduchik has for months been blocking reformers, removing them from committees, and refusing to appoint new members to committee assignments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Bob it\u2019s immediately my way, the highway. You don\u2019t do what I want, you\u2019re dead to meet. Lose my phone number, don\u2019t call me\u2014and for those of us who are on the committee, we can\u2019t let that continue because it\u2019s going to hurt the party in the long run,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Williams said he was aware of the millions of dollars in write-offs from the party\u2019s books, but the former state legislator does not believe money was stolen, but it is true the party\u2019s books are a mess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the records that we are given do not tie back,\u201d he said. \u201cWe get these QuickBook spreadsheets that don\u2019t tie back to previous meetings, and they don\u2019t reconcile over from one year end to another year-end\u2013and those are legitimate necessary questions for the finance committee members to make and ask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Going into the November midterms, the Ohio Republican Party must reboot and reconnect with its voters, so the party can ramp enthusiasm with Trump supporters boxed out by Paduchik and his staff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Williams said this was brought home to him with he had a conversation with one of the party\u2019s statewide candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, there\u2019s an enthusiasm gap with conservatives in Ohio. I was just talking to one of the statewides, and it was telling me about the polling numbers and saying that the conservatives do not have this turnout enthusiasm that a lot of the Democrats have and they\u2019re wondering why,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said: \u2018Well, I think the conduct of the state party contributes to that because we\u2019ve had nothing for Pro-Trump Republicans by the state party organization, they get put down, they get put down, to they get put down.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neil W.
