Letter from Chairman Bill Platt, Lehigh County Republican Committee…

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Scott Ott as the Executive Director of the Lehigh County Republican Committee.  Many of you know Scott as our most-recent candidate for Lehigh County Executive.  Some of you know Scott personally.  Either way, you should be as enthused about this appointment as I am.  Scott Ott brings a practical skill set of leadership, communication and internet savvy from years of running non-profit organizations, as well as a proven ability to connect with voters across the spectrum. During his campaign, Scott Ott received broad support among Republicans of various perspectives, as well as among independents and registered Democrats. He speaks with enthusiasm and common sense, and really connects with people.

Scott was most recently the executive director of Victory Valley Camp in Zionsville and is a professional writer and political commentator who co-hosts a TV show called Trifecta three times a week on PJTV.com. He writes a twice-weekly satire column for The Washington Examiner, in a style he developed during more than seven years as editor in chief of his satire site, ScrappleFace.com. Ott’s work has been celebrated by Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck as well the editors of The Weekly Standard, National Review, The Wall Street Journal’s OpinionJournal.com, PajamasMedia.com, and is a published author who most recently wrote a chapter on politics and journalism for “The New Media Frontier,” Crossway, 2008.

Please reach out to Scott and find out how you can help strengthen the Lehigh County Republican Committee.  It is an honor to have Scott on the team.

Happy New Year,

William H. Platt II, Chairman
