From Randy Evans – GA GOP National Committeeman

The 2014 RNC Winter Meeting effectively kicked off the 2016 Presidential Nomination process with some important decisions.

First, the various regions selected their representatives to the Committee on Arrangements. Linda Herren from Georgia will serve on the Committee as an alternative.

Second, the full RNC adopted a complete rules package which governs the 2016 Presidential nomination process. In effect, the rules package moves back the beginning, moves up the end, and shortens the cooling off or slow down period in the middle. Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada will remain the first four states to select delegates to the 2016 GOP Presidential Nomination.

With the adoption of the rules, the 2016 Republican National Convention will now likely occur in late June or early July.

Otherwise, the RNC adopted various resolutions including one suggested by former Speaker Newt Gingrich and offered by the Paul Reynolds, the National Committeeman from Alabama. The resolution calls for freezing new government regulations in order to allow the businesses and the economy to recover from the extended slowdown.
