Vote Revive 25 Washington County GOP 3.29.25

---

My name is Danielle Goodrich and I am running for GOP Chair of Washington County Republican Party and I need your help! 

Why I'm Running

I am a Christian, conservative, wife and a mom of three children. I want to hand down freedom to my children to do the same. As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.."

We may have just got Trump in, but it took decades of misunderstanding the principles of liberty to get us to where we are. We have a lot of work to do. And I have already been hard at work doing it.

I founded East TN Freedom. Our mission is to uphold God given rights through education and advocacy. Our motto is John 8:32 and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

We started teaching Constitution classes seeing all the unconstitutionality that happened during COVID. We've had Senators, Sheriffs, Representatives and citizens to our classes. 

The Federal government was only given jurisdiction over what is in Article 1 Section 8. Everything else defers to the 9th and 10th amendment, the people and the states.

The Federal government wasn't delegated health or education, but things like the post office and the military. It is the job of the states, who created the federal government, to put it back in its limited place by flexing the tenth amendment. By rejecting federal funding. 

But that isn't what is happening. 

Our Republican super majority is not upholding Republican principles. 

You can read about how many of the principles were removed in my word analysis of the platforms here on The Tennessee Conservative, titled "Making America Great Again, Requires the Principles That Made Her Great." https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/making-america-great-again-requires-the-principles-that-made-her-great/

These principles include

-upholding the Constitution as binding and inflexible

-standing for limited government

-standing against unelected unaccountable government

-fiscal conservatism

The principles are why I became a Republican because I understand they are the opposite to the steps of walking a country into communism via socialism. 

We were given the principles which uphold liberty yet we have Republicans doing the opposite.

-creating welfare and entitlement programs

-growing government authority

-being fiscally irresponsible

-creating monopolies of healthcare and education

-ignoring the Constitution

-spending our tax dollars on private corporations

-accepting Federal funding with state sovereignty eroding strings

Section 22 of the State Constitution says monopolies are contrary to the genius of a free state and therefore prohibited. Yet we have the largest state created healthcare monopoly in the country. When I asked how it was possible for our legislature to ignore the Constitution, I never received an answer.

I want to make Republicans Republican again by following principles not politicians. 

We look to have transparency with the budget and how it’s spent and what candidates it’s spent on.

We will look to let all Republican candidates speak at meetings not just the special interest ones.

We will look to improve communications, have more meetings, and grow the party to reach all area Republicans.

There are private clubs that are operating as if they are the CEC but they are not. We should keep them separate. If they want to charge Republican candidates to sponsor a lunch in order to speak that is fine, but the Washington County Republican Party will per the party bylaws, allow all candidates the forum, support all Republicans running against Democrats. 

We also want you to know the legislation that your Representatives are carrying. Did you know that they dropped the number of bills that House Reps can carry from 15 to 12 this year? And next year they are dropping it again to 10? Do you know what 12 pieces of legislation your Representatives are carrying this year? Does the legislation align with Republican principles of limited government and fiscal conservatism? I follow the legislature carefully. I’ve even gotten my own liberty defending legislation passed. If I am elected I will ask you to do your civic duty of writing against liberty infringing legislation and writing in support of liberty defending legislation.

Jefferson County GOP Chair David Seal has created a model for all other counties to follow. Last year as Chair he drafted private property protecting legislation, got his commission to pass a resolution showing county support, had grassroots groups like mine support it, and then his Mayor wrote us a thank you. All counties should operate with such unity to Republicans principles. 

We know apathy is what leads into bondage and eternal vigilance leads to liberty. We will be vigilant and will ask for your help.

We want accountability. If an area Republican is operating against Republican principles we will speak to them direct and try and get them back in line. If they continue, Washington county Republicans will be informed and can address it the next primary.

We are looking to bring transparency to policy and spending as well as educate people on the Constitution and the principles which ensure liberty. We are looking to grow the GOP with more young people and county people. We want to revive the Republican principles and revive the Republican party.

Our founding fathers tasked us with a Republican government, it is the job of Republicans to ensure this by ensuring we stand for the principles. 

-Limited government

-Fiscal conservatism

-Standing for the Constitution as Binding and Inflexible

-Standing against unelected unaccountable government

There will be accountability and reciprocity. 

You will know how your money is spent if you donate to the party. We will be transparent with money raised, money spent, we will show you the budget. With the Revive 25 Team you will know which candidates we spent it on and why. 

You will know what is happening at the Capitol.

What legislation your Representatives are carrying and whether or not we believe it to be in line with the principles. 

We will send out regular communications. I am used to doing this for my organization. You will receive emails and social media communications about what is happening in Nashville and what is happening locally. 

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Apathy is what leads to bondage. We will ask you to help counter apathy and be vigilant by writing in support of liberty defending legislation and against liberty infringing legislation. It's a Republic if you can Keep it means it takes work. We've been doing the work and we want to engage the Party to help.

We are committed to growing the GOP not only with people in the city but with county folks who feel like they've been disenfranchised and left out over the years. We will hold regular meetings and invite all area Republicans. We need to grow because the Democrats had they not run a candidate as an independent and a Democrat for Suzy Williams seat they would have won that seat. The area Democrats are growing and we need to grow too.
