SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — It’s been a week since Sen. Joe Gluters, a Sarasota Republican, became the new chairman of the Republican National Committee.
“I look forward to taking up the President’s vision and winning the medium term and moving from there,” Gruters said.

Lawmakers are not people who don’t know they have a deep connection to the Republican Party. Over the past 20 years, he has been involved in national, state and local party groups. Now he has left his post as a full-time public accountant in Venice, preparing to concentrate full-time in his new role.
“I’m just finishing up a few things here. When I first got that call, I’m a CPA in trade. I’m about to finish some jobs,” Gruters said. “But in about a week, I’ll be moving to DC and really starting to travel around the country, organizing local and state political parties, getting ready and getting ready for the medium term.”
Glutter realizes that being one of the leaders of the incumbent party is a difficult battle. This next election is when President Trump learns whether voters want him to continue on his current agenda.
“The incumbent party has two in 39 in the last 41 out-of-cycle elections against the incumbent party, but I haven’t heard anyone do anything President Trump did in the first seven months of his administration,” Gluters said.
The party is focused on turning several parliamentary seats over.
“We have 13 seats that are really focused on. These 13 seats are the seats the president won in the last cycle where Democrats in Congress also won,” Gutters said.
Florida lawmakers want county and state parties to talk to voters about what’s included in the president’s large bill, which involves tax cuts and changes in spending.
“When “One Big and Beautiful Bill” passes, we have a lot to focus on and a lot to celebrate.
President Trump recently confirmed that he wanted to rebrand the bill. This comes at the same time that the Pew Research Centre shows there is more opposition than support among law voters.
In the meantime, Gluters plans to continue to represent the current components for the remainder of his term. However, he leaves the race for Florida’s Chief Financial Officer.
