George Taplin

@norges1953 @ProjectVirginia No meeting on Tuesday. We are setting up a meeting soon. Announcement will go out within 24 hours.

@modernGOPzone @ProjectVirginia Is there a .meeting Tuesday.

🇺🇸THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS, VOTERS, AND MEMBERS. IT'S A NEW DAY. Friends, I am deeply honored and grateful to have earned your support today as the NEW Chairman of the Loudoun County Republican Committee. To every volunteer, every voter, and every member who took time out of your day to participate in this important grassroots election—thank you. This victory belongs to you. It reflects your commitment to our principles, your belief in our committee and party, and your desire to see Loudoun Republicans united, focused, and winning again. I also want to thank Former Chairman Scott Pio for his service as Chairman. Serving in this role is no small task. We may have had differences, but today is about moving forward. Now, the real work begins. We are going to rebuild this committee into a strong, professional, and effective organization—one that is focused on winning elections and earning the trust of voters across Loudoun County. That means putting data to work to guide strategy, outreach, and turnout. It means recruiting and training strong candidates, supporting them every step of the way, and building the kind of volunteer infrastructure that wins races. Just as importantly, it means ending the division that has held us back. We are ONE Republican Party. And we will act like it. We are going to be a big tent—welcoming, inclusive, and focused on growing our coalition. We will engage communities we have not reached in the past. We will listen more. We will show up more. And we will make the case—clearly and confidently—for why Republican principles deliver freedom, security, and opportunity for every family in Loudoun County. This committee will be grounded in integrity, accountability, and respect. We will treat each other as teammates, not adversaries. We will focus on solutions, not distractions. And we will measure success the only way that matters: by winning. The future of this county—and our Commonwealth—depends on what we do next. Let’s get to work. With gratitude and determination, George Taplin The New: Chairman! Loudoun County Republican Committee

Any Loudoun County resident who is a registered voter, willing to sign a document committing to vote Republican in future elections, and shows proper ID, may participate in the election for LCRC Chairman.   ⸻ You may have seen posts from the current LCRC Chairman claiming he is the ONLY candidate for Chairman. That is not true. I am George Taplin, and I am running to be your next Chairman of the LCRC. I am running because our committee — and our party in Loudoun County — must change course. I will be blunt. The Loudoun County Republican Committee is in crisis. We are losing elections. We have lost transparency, accountability, and trust. Meetings meant for planning and winning elections have become chaotic complaint sessions. We are wrapped up in scandals. We have struggled to recruit and properly support candidates for races, failed to staff all polls, and watched good members and volunteers become disenfranchised and walk away. Continuing with the status quo guarantees more dysfunction, more division, more financial irresponsibility, and more lost elections. That is why I am running to be your next Chairman of the LCRC. As Chairman, I will make one goal non-negotiable: getting Republicans elected in Loudoun County. That means restoring transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility so trust can be rebuilt. It means refocusing the committee on execution — not infighting. Under my leadership we will: ✅ Recruit and properly support quality candidates ✅ Rebuild a volunteer army to staff every poll and organize year-round ✅ Heal the divide and work cohesively with Republican partners across Virginia ✅ Focus on the issues that matter most to Loudoun County voters — the issues that win elections The LCRC must become what it was meant to be: A professional, mission-driven organization that respects its members, protects donor trust, unites Republicans, and delivers results. Under my leadership, every member will be heard and valued — not sidelined by chaos or ignored by leadership. This election is about restoring trust, rebuilding our organization, and winning again. If you believe Loudoun Republicans deserve better, I respectfully ask for your vote on March 21 — and bring your friends and family. Every single vote matters. Together, we will rebuild our committee, unite our party, and win again. Respectfully, George Taplin Candidate for Chairman Loudoun County Republican Committee

💰LCRC Financials: Transparency Is Not Optional. It’s Foundational. I was not involved in the RPV audit request or in the current Chairman’s decision not to participate. Like many of you, I first learned about it through reporting from @NickMinock. I’m not going to speculate. Matters like this deserve facts — not commentary. But I will be clear about this: If elected Chairman of the LCRC, my first action will be FULL COOPERATION with @VA_GOP regarding any audit request. Transparency is not a threat to a committee. It strengthens it. As incoming leadership, we must know exactly where we stand financially. Members deserve clarity. Donors deserve confidence. Volunteers deserve assurance that the organization they support is operating responsibly. Trust is not restored through resistance. It’s restored through openness. That will be my standard on Day One. wjla.com/news/local/aud…

🇺🇸TOMORROW'S ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED BY THOSE WHO SHOW UP AND VOTE. TOMORROW IS THE DAY! This is the most important grassroots election we have—because it determines everything that comes next. Not just who leads the committee. But whether we finally start winning again. Let’s be honest about where we are. We have seen division. We have seen chaos. We have seen public controversy that has damaged trust. And we have seen a losing record that continues to grow. That is not sustainable. And it is not acceptable. Leadership matters. And when leadership is not focused on winning, the consequences are real: - Voters disengage - Volunteers step back - Candidates are not properly supported - And the gap between winning and losing grows wider That is exactly where we are today. But tomorrow, you have the power to change it. I am honored to have the support of all of Loudoun’s Constitutional Officers—leaders who understand what it takes to win, to serve, and to lead with integrity. They know what is at stake. And they know we need a change in direction. I am running for Chairman to bring that change. Not with slogans—but WITH A PLAN. A real, operational strategy to rebuild a winning organization in Loudoun County. That means: - Rebuilding our precinct structure from the ground up - Recruiting candidates who can compete and winning - Creating real support systems around those candidates - Re-engaging and growing a strong, motivated volunteer base - Restoring unity, integrity, transparency, and accountability - And focusing every decision on one goal: WINNING ELECTIONS And let me be clear about one thing: Data is not a talking point. It is a tool. And under my leadership, it will be used to identify voters, target outreach, and drive turnout—so that we are not guessing, but executing with precision. We do not need more noise. We need leadership that knows how to build, organize, and win. Tomorrow, you have a clear choice: Continue with the same leadership—and the same results. Or choose a new path focused on execution, unity, and victory. But none of it matters if you don’t show up. This election will be decided by the people who are in line before 10:00 AM. That’s it. The power to change the outcome is in your hands. But only if you use it. If you’ve been frustrated… if you’ve stepped back… if you’ve wondered how we keep falling short—This is your moment to change it. But only if you show up and vote. So I am asking you: - Make a plan tonight. - Set your alarm. - Be there early. - Bring someone with you. Show up. Vote. And be part of the team that brings Loudoun back to winning. 🗳️ Vote for George Taplin for Chairman of the LCRC — March 21 📆 Saturday, March 21 📍 Fairfax Christian School 22870 Pacific Boulevard, Dulles, VA ⏰ In-person registration opens at 8:30 AM 🗳️You must be in line by 10:00 AM to vote — no exceptions 💵 $20 participation fee (cash, debit, or credit) ⚠️ You do NOT have to be an LCRC member to vote.

@ShadowValo81134 Thank you for your insightful observations.

This writer has been busy overseas—but even from afar, the signal cut through the noise: an absurd text message praising the worst Committee Chairman in the Commonwealth running for reelection demands a response. There are political leaders. There are political performers. And then there is Scott Pio—the traveling production of The Emperor With No Clothes, sponsored by The Tiger King, financed by Bernie Madoff. And somehow… people are still clapping. Let’s talk about the text message promo — it reads like it was ghostwritten by a hostage blinking in Morse code. 🚨“No one works harder than Scott…” Correct. No one works harder at losing elections, alienating allies, and turning a functioning committee into a group chat nobody wants to open. If this were high school, he’d be running for class president while slandering everyone in the hallways and shoving them in lockers. Then he’d cry the football players and cheerleaders just don’t like him and that’s why he’s sitting alone at lunch. 🚨“Christian conservative values…” This is where it stops being politics and starts being stand-up comedy. Because somewhere out there—on video—is Mr. telling a group of Muslims he doesn’t care about Christian votes or white votes… only Muslim votes. So which version is real? The “Christian conservative champion”? Or the guy pandering to the Muslims? 🚨“Outperformed every other committee…” Ah yes. The Madoff Method™ of accounting. If you inflate the numbers, hide the books, and refuse an audit when the state party asks for one… Congrats—you’re not a high performer. You’re a case study. And when someone says, “Nothing to see here,” while blocking anyone from seeing anything… There is, in fact, everything to see here. 🚨“Raised more money…” No. He sold tickets to a lavish event that lost money. And then did it again the next year. That’s not fundraising. That’s confusing “revenue” with “profit” and “confidence” with “delusion.” You don’t put that person in charge of anything. 🚨“600 members…” Sure. 600 members. 600 volunteers. 600 unicorns. We wouldn’t know—because the list is locked up tighter than the nuclear codes. And yet… somehow… with 600 members… The Chairman can’t staff polls. Can’t mobilize turnout. And keeps losing. At what point do we admit the number is less a fact… and more a bedtime story? 🚨“Picked up one more school board seat…” This one deserves a standing ovation for pure audacity. Amy Riccardi—the candidate he reportedly didn’t support in exchange for open doors to the Muslim center. Who ran as an Independent. Who won without him. And now he’s taking credit? That’s like not showing up to the group project… and then putting your name first on the presentation. Let’s not forget the races he didn’t contest— the other candidates he didn’t back— the leadership vacuum he created that allowed actual radicals to take control of the school board. 🚨And then… the $20 fee. Because nothing says “grassroots movement” like charging admission to participate in your own party. Fun fact: He wanted it to be $50. Because apparently the only thing more consistent than his losses… is his spending. And the best part? Even the money isn’t trusted with him. It’s being held by the 10th District. Imagine being the chairman… and people want a 3rd party to hold the cash. That’s not leadership. That’s babysitting. So here we are. A leader who loses. A brand built on numbers no one can verify. A financial track record that requires creative interpretation. And a messaging strategy built not on results, but on smear campaigns—where lying about others isn’t a tactic, it’s the entire playbook And still… a someone sent that text. Are his supporters blind…or just committed to the bit? Because at this point, we all see he’s a man on a stage, wearing nothing, declaring victory, while the kingdom burns behind him. The only real mystery left is—Will you pretend not to notice and vote for him?

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE FUTURE. BUT ONLY IF YOU SHOW UP AND VOTE. Friends, In just TWO DAYS— this Saturday—you are not just voting for a Chairman. You are deciding whether Loudoun Republicans continue losing—or start winning again. Let’s be clear about where we are. We are not losing because Loudoun is unwinnable. We are not losing because our values don’t resonate. We are losing because-- under our current leadership -- we are not being led to win. Leadership sets the tone. Leadership builds the structure. Leadership determines how and if candidates are recruited, supported, and positioned to succeed. Right now, that is not happening well. And the result has been predictable: A widening gap between winning and losing Good candidates don't want to run Volunteers are stepping back instead of stepping up Voters feeling disconnected and staying home Offices are slipping away that should have been ours. That is not a coincidence. That is the result of poor leadership. If you stay home this Saturday, nothing changes. The same leadership. The same approach. The same results. If you want change, you have to vote for it. I am running for Chairman because I know we can do better—and I know how to do it. We need to get back to fundamentals: Recruiting candidates who can actually win in Loudoun Supporting them with real organization and visibility Rebuilding our precinct operations from the ground up Re-engaging volunteers and giving them a reason to come back. Using data and strategy to drive turnout—not just talk about it. Focusing every decision on one outcome: winning elections. That is what I will do as Chairman. This is not about personalities. This is about results. You have a clear choice: Continue down the path we are on — Or choose new leadership focused on winning. I am asking for your vote. I am asking for your trust. And I am asking you to show up. Make a plan now. Be in line before 10:00 AM. Bring someone with you. Because this election will be decided by the people who show up. Vote George Taplin for Chairman. Let’s restore focus. Let’s rebuild our organization. And let’s start winning again. Respectfully. George Taplin Candidate for Chairman of the Loudoun Republican Party P.S. If you’ve been frustrated… if you’ve stepped back… if you’ve wondered how we keep falling short— This is your moment to change it. But only if you show up and vote. 🗳️ Vote for George Taplin for Chairman of the LCRC — March 21 📆 Saturday, March 21 📍 Fairfax Christian School 22870 Pacific Boulevard, Dulles, VA ⏰ In-person registration opens at 8:30 AM or pre-register here 🗳️You must be in line by 10:00 AM to vote — no exceptions 💵 $20 participation fee (cash, debit, or credit) ⚠️ You do NOT have to be an LCRC member to vote.

Thank you for reaching out Gina. Those are good questions. I was a full time member when Sharon was chair. I worked with Patricia Phillips training new candidates. Mr Pio was one of those candidates and he refused to listen to anyone, and he lost his race in a landslide. After he became chair, I worked with Laura Robinson revamping the subcommittee section of the plan. I also volunteered to deliver flyers to voters. After trying to again talk with the chair, I determined that he was not helping people get elected and he would not listen to anyone who tried to help with alternative strategies. I remained an associate member in the hope that Loudoun County Republicans would start getting elected. After two more years of waiting with no successes and voting trends moving more to the Democrat side I decided to get involved to reverse the trend. Since the current chair would not listen to anyone and would not change trajectory, I decided to run for chair and get the committee back to getting republicans elected. I do have a lot of experience in managing a political organization, as well as an undergraduate degree in Management and if you want to know more, let’s sit down over coffee and we can share our experiences. Thanks again for reaching out.

@modernGOPzone What experience do you have with the LCRC? Have you been a participating member and/or committee member for many years? If so, which committee and how long? Who do you have to run each committee? What experience do you have leading a political organization?

🇺🇸DISTRACTION IS NOT A WINNING TACTIC. WE DESERVE BETTER. If you’ve been around the Loudoun County Republican Committee over the past four years, you’ve seen a pattern. When accountability is needed… When results are questioned… When leadership should be focused on winning… Instead, something else happens: Attacks. Distractions. Smear campaigns. You’ve seen it directed at fellow Republicans running for leadership, at elected officials, or those who simply call for transparency and accountability. You’ve seen it aimed at our own constitutional officers. You’ve seen it spill over onto members of our community who simply dared to speak up. This isn’t new. It’s the pattern of the current LCRC Chairman, who is running for re-election. And it’s not about strengthening our party—it’s about deflecting from a record and accusations we can no longer ignore. While the focus has been on tearing people down, we have been losing: • Losing elections we should be competitive in • Losing volunteers who no longer feel respected or heard • Losing trust across our own Republican community That is the reality. And when that reality becomes impossible to defend, the playbook is predictable: change the subject, target individuals, and create noise. Smear campaigns. Let’s be clear—Loudoun Republicans deserve better than this. We deserve a committee Chairman that: • Focuses on winning elections—not internal attacks • Supports candidates instead of undermining them • Rebuilds trust instead of fracturing it • Brings people back instead of driving them away This moment is about a choice: Do we continue down the same path—more division, more distractions, more losses? Or do we choose leadership that is focused, steady, and committed to rebuilding something stronger? We all want the same thing: a Republican Party in Loudoun County that wins, that grows, and that reflects the values we believe in. That only happens when we choose leadership that puts the mission above the noise.

🇺🇸Loudoun GOP Voter Participation Gap: Negative Structural Shift Costing Us Elections Loudoun’s elections are slipping because of voter participation. But why? The article below dives into both the Problem & the Solution (data source link provided): 🔴The Problem: Over the past four years: • Democrat turnout increased by +56,457 votes • Republican turnout increased by +16,011 votes • The margin widened from +2.8K to +43K • The gap is structural — not cyclical A handful of precincts account for disproportionate losses. 🇺🇸The Solution: I’ve outlined a Structural Turnout Recovery Framework for 2027 and beyond: • Precinct-level targeting • Turnout operations with measurable goals • Growth-zone engagement strategy • Margin compression model • Leadership accountability

💰LCRC Financials: Transparency Is Not Optional. It’s Foundational. I was not involved in the RPV audit request or in the current Chairman’s decision not to participate. Like many of you, I first learned about it through reporting from @NickMinock. I’m not going to speculate. Matters like this deserve facts — not commentary. But I will be clear about this: If elected Chairman of the LCRC, my first action will be FULL COOPERATION with @VA_GOP regarding any audit request. Transparency is not a threat to a committee. It strengthens it. As incoming leadership, we must know exactly where we stand financially. Members deserve clarity. Donors deserve confidence. Volunteers deserve assurance that the organization they support is operating responsibly. Trust is not restored through resistance. It’s restored through openness. That will be my standard on Day One. wjla.com/news/local/aud…
