Evan Power, Republican Party of Florida Vice Chair, announced he will run for state Chair. An election is planned for Jan. 8, presuming the state executive committee votes to remove current Chair Christian Ziegler.
‘”It is imperative we move the party forward quickly and efficiently,” the Tallahassee Republican told Florida Politics. “With the 2024 elections less than a year away we need to hit the ground running. On Jan. 8 I will ask my fellow RPOF members to entrust me with the responsibility to lead our Republican team to victory.”
Power ran against Ziegler earlier this year for the position of state Chair, which Ziegler narrowly won in February. Ziegler at the time encouraged Power’s election as Vice Chair to unite the party after the close contest.
At the time, Ziegler’s win was viewed as a victory for supporters of former President Donald Trump over those close to Gov. Ron DeSantis, two Florida candidates currently competing for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
