Jerry Brooks Announces Bid for MCRC Chairman


Promises an Effective, Inclusive Organization Focused on Winning Elections

(Chandler) Jerry Brooks announced today his candidacy for Chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Committee.

“I am running for Chairman of the Maricopa County
Republican Committee because I believe the Republican Party needs new direction,” said Brooks. “I have been a Precinct Committeeman since 1978 and I have always worked effectively with all elements of the party. I have served in elective office and I have managed and assisted many campaigns for other Republicans. I know that it takes unity of effort to win.”


Brooks stressed the need for new leadership to achieve unity quoting Michael Reagan, “…it seems we find reasons not to get along and not to present a united front in the face of our opponents.”

“The Republican Party was once devoted to winning elections. In two years, Arizonans will elect a Governor and other statewide offices. Will we elect a Republican Governor? Will we hold John McCain’s seat in the U.S. Senate? I believe we can, but it will take new, effective and positive leadership to achieve our goals.”

“With your support, I will work for an open and inclusive Republican Party—one in which the grassroots base, young professionals and the business community all feel welcome. I will do my best to bring all Republicans together and return to the days when the Republican Party enjoyed the confidence and respect of the people we are trying to serve.”

Brooks was elected Mayor of Chandler from 1984 to 1988 and was a member of the Chandler City Council from 1982 to 1984. He served as Director of the Arizona League of Cities and Towns and was the Vice Chairman of the Maricopa Association of Governments. Brooks retired from the United States Air Force as a Colonel. His private sector career includes positions as Vice President of Talley Technical Services and Director of Government Relations for New Construction at Motorola. Brooks managed John McCain’s 1982 campaign for Congress. He is the Chairman of the Legislative District 21 Republican Committee. Brooks and his wife, Sheila, reside in Chandler.
