The late summer ruling from Jim Greer removed several RLC members from leadership positions within the RPOF

Orlando, Florida — Last week, the Florida chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus held a statewide meeting whereby the membership passed a resolution condemning the actions of the Republican Party of Florida. In September five Republican Liberty Caucus members were removed from the Republican Party leadership for being outspoken supporters of limited government policies, individual liberties and for demanding accountability within the Republican Party of Florida Leadership.

Vice Chairwoman Kimberly Wells of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Northeast Florida (RLCNEF) explains the ruling from September. “The Republican Party of Florida unjustly purged a number of fellow Republican Liberty Caucus members due to their outspoken criticism and call for accountability within the Republican Party of Florida.”

The Ruling from Chairman Greer came after a long battle to silence any dissent within the Republican Party of Florida. The reasons for this ‘Party Purge’ were that the ousted members have collectively and individually called for a complete audit of the Republican Party of Florida finances, advocated for candidates not favored by party leaders, and because we are members of the Republican Liberty Caucus.

“This resolution is important because it lets grassroots activists know that there are still people in the Republican Party who are standing firm on principles,” said John Stevens, RLCNEF Chairman. “It also sends a message to Jim Greer and the Party’s leadership that the Republican Liberty Caucus is not backing down in its fight for accountability amongst Republicans.”

Republican Liberty Caucus of Central East Florida Chair Matt Nye was appointed to the position of Treasurer by the RLCFL board in August after prior Treasurer Woody Engle resigned in June.

"I am very excited to be working with the new board to take the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida to the next level," said Nye. "The Republican Party is now facing the greatest crisis it has ever known, and the RLC is just what the doctor ordered to get the party back to its Jeffersonian roots."

Nye currently works as a technology salesman and brings with him a diverse technology skill set as well as a background in real estate finance.
