FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Strongsville, Ohio

On February 8th, The Strongsville GOP was the first organization to stand united against the unthinkable actions taken by Congressman Anthony Gonzalez and call on him to resign.

Last night, Gonzalez took to twitter to announce that he was quitting his failing bid for re-election. Every single Strongsville GOP member should stand tall today knowing that their hard work contributed significantly to his departure from the race. The 16th district is a better place now that there is an opportunity to conduct the important conversation about the future of our district without the toxic presence of the #BetrayalCaucus member, Anthony Gonzalez in the race.

Statement by Shannon Burns, President of Strongsville GOP: "The members of Strongsville GOP were steadfast in their opposition to Anthony Gonzalez after he voted to impeach our sitting President with no proof and no due process. In the end, Congressman Gonzalez realized that without the support of the base of the party represented by Strongsville GOP and in the face of the Trump endorsement of Max Miller, he had no pathway to victory in the Republican Primary."

Anthony Gonzalez on January 13th 2021, betrayed his Constituents, The 400+ Strongsville GOP Membership and it's thousands of Followers when he voted with Nancy Pelosi and The Democrats in their unconstitutional pursuit to impeach President Trump, without fact and without due process and side with Leftist, Anti-American Democrats.  Traitorous Gonzalez resorted to emotional conclusions that misplaced blame on the President of Law and Order and America First policies.

Gonzalez's decision, whether shaped by Democrat rhetoric and coercion or his belief that he could lead the post Trump Republican Party - was misguided and antithetical to the will of his Conservative and America First loving district constituents.

The Strongsville GOP stepped into a national leadership role to unanimously call for a vote of no confidence and the resignation of Anthony Gonzalez on February 8th, 2021. The Strongsville GOP could not take a weak approach to addressing Gonzalez's turn-coat actions. So, with the overwhelming support of our 16th District community- The Strongsville GOP set-up to remove Anthony Gonzalez from office.

Our leadership on the issue prompted the Ohio Republican Party in May to also pass a vote of no confidence and call on the resignation of Congressman Gonzalez.

We now turn to the future as we elect a Strong, America First, Constitutional Conservative to represent the 16th Ohio District in Congress in the November 2022 Mid-term Election.

Strongsville GOP is taking a stand for our police. A leftist group called Indivisible Strongsville is making baseless charges of systemic racism against our great police men & women. In addition to pushing the Marxists ideas of the BLM organization, they are trying to get the Thin Blue Line flag removed form the Police Station. Our police clearly need our support now more than ever!

We are going to show up at the next council meeting and show these Marxists that their warped ideology has no place in Strongsville or in Ohio! Please consider helping us line the Strongsville Commons by the clock tower with Thin Blue Line Flags and American Flags at the next council meeting by sponsoring a flag!

​This is not Solon and we are not going to budge one inch against the Marxists from Indivisible Strongsville! The Thin Blue Line Flag will remain in our police station! #backtheblue

Event Format
The format will be simple. All candidates will have 25 minutes on stage and will be required to spend at least 10 minutes answering questions from the live audience of 600 Republican voters (don't worry, tickets are available for the online Summit too!). In addition to Ohio candidates, you will have the special honor of hearing from one of the most recognized and influential voices in modern American conservatism, Candace Owens as well as national second amendment advocate and a rising conservative star, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert!  This is sure to be an amazing day -- get your questions ready!
