An interim county GOP Chair will be elected to replace Christian Nascimento, who is stepping down.
On January 13, committee members will gather to elect someone to serve as interim Montgomery County Republican Committee chair to replace Christian Nascimento, who is stepping down.
Liz Ferry and Tom DiBello are running to serve in the position. Both candidates sent letters to committee members to make their cases for the election.
“We are at a critical moment, and many of us, including myself, believe we are truly battling for the future of the Republican Party in Montgomery County,” said DiBello.
DiBello is a Montgomery County commissioner, who says his executive experience will serve him in the chairmanship.
“We need someone who has been in Washington working with the Trump Administration on election integrity as well as going to Harrisburg and other counties around the state advocating for improvements to Act 77 and election integrity,” said DiBello.
He plans to work towards creating a Montgomery County hub for Turning Point and building relationships with minority communities.
“I have met with committee people, leaders, and donors to discuss what is needed now in a county chair and believe I have the skillset needed to serve you and our party at this critical juncture,” said Ferry, who has worked for Pennsylvania Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman for the past two years.
Ferry worked on communications and grassroots outreach for Pittman. “I created the job because I believe keeping the state Senate Republican majority is critical to stopping the terrible legislation coming out of the Democratically controlled House of Representatives. It’s time we start exposing the extreme liberal agenda of our Democratically run country,” she said.
Ferry is a former Upper Dublin commissioner who also served as Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce vice president for fifteen years. She is a U.S. Navy veteran.
Ferry’s top priorities as chair would be fundraising, conducting outreach across the community, reaching voters, and improving the county’s mail-ballot program.
Both Ferry and DiBello ran for Montgomery County commissioner in 2023. DiBello won the minority spot on the three-member board.
Committee members will elect one of the candidates on January 13 to serve as interim Montgomery County Republican Committee chair.
