Chairman Sterns Accepts Position with Sen. Toomey,  Passes the Torch to Vice Chairman Larry Padora

 

POTTSVILLE (Oct. 2, 2011) — Schuylkill County Republican Committee Chairman Joe Sterns has accepted the position of Central Pennsylvania Manager for U.S. Senator Toomey.  

 
“I am thrilled to be going to work for Sen. Toomey, whose honesty and principled leadership I've always admired,” Sterns said.  “So that I can devote myself fully to my new position, I am resigning my post as Chairman of our Schuylkill County Republican Committee. I am proud of what we have accomplished, including reclaiming the 125th District House seat, carrying Schuylkill County overwhelmingly for Gov. Corbett and Sen. Toomey, recruiting many new committee members and volunteers, and assembling a strong County ticket that will make ours the envy of courthouses across Pennsylvania.  The chairmanship of the Schuylkill County Republican Committee will pass seamlessly to our Vice Chairman, Larry Padora, a gifted leader ready and willing to steer the ship.  I will be working closely with Larry over the next few weeks to make sure that this transition does not detract from our fall campaign.” 

 

Stated Larry Padora, “We’ve been fortunate to have someone of Joe’s political expertise to help lead our Party to a resurgence the past year and a half.  Although I am saddened to see him step down, it is an honor to have one of our own working for a United States Senator.  I look forward to leading our Party to our victory in November.”   # # # #
