TAMPA, Fla. — A nascent political committee headed by some prominent Hillsborough Republicans has been formed to try to reverse the party’s dismal performance over the past three election cycles.
“Our goal is to get more Republicans elected in Hillsborough County,” says Hillsborough State Committeewoman April Schiff, who along with GOP fundraiser Hung Mai and nationally recognized Republican campaign treasurer Nancy Watkins have created the Hillsborough Leadership Council.
“A voter registration drive is in the works,” Schiff told Spectrum Bay News 9 last week. “We will be recruiting candidates, helping them get through the process as well as contributing to their campaigns.”
