Endorsed by Bob Grant, Incumbent for Concord A

“Adam has spent a lot of time with me listening and learning about the work the Central Committee does… There is no one more qualified to be our next Central Committee member than Adam Headlee.” – Bob Grant, Delaware County Republican Central Committee, Concord A (2000 to present)

 

Read Bob Grant’s full endorsement

It’s been my privilege to serve as your representative on the Delaware County Republican Central Committee for the past 24 years. After much thought and consideration, I’ve decided it’s time for me to step aside and let the next generation be our voice for the Concord A precinct. I’m voting for Adam Headlee to be my successor on the Central Committee, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting him.

The Central Committee screens candidates for local and state offices, makes endorsements, distributes yard signs and campaign materials, and engages in many other activities to help elect Republicans across the board. And while Delaware County has voted solidly Republican for decades, the Democrats have been quickly gaining strength in the last few years. That’s why it’s so important to have hard workers who understand politics and campaigns serving on the Central Committee – and Adam Headlee is exactly that kind of person.

Adam has spent a lot of time with me listening and learning about the work we do on Central Committee. I’ve known him since he was 14, and I’ve been proud to watch him grow up and become a White House Intern, serve as a Legislative Aide for multiple members of the Ohio House of Representatives, and work on many successful Republican campaigns for local and state officials. I’ve never met anyone as well-connected in our state government and with the staff of the Ohio Republican Party. His extensive experience will make him a great asset to the Central Committee.

President Eisenhower said, “The opportunist only thinks about himself, and today. The statesman thinks about all of us, and tomorrow.” Adam is always thinking about tomorrow. His ability to see the “big picture” and organize a plan for success is precisely what we need moving forward. There is no one more qualified to be our next Central Committee member than Adam Headlee.

We have a major Presidential and Senatorial primary coming up on Tuesday, March 19, so it’s extremely important that we all turn out to vote! When you pull your Republican ballot, remember to vote in every single contest. I hope you’ll join me in going all the way down the list of races to vote for Adam Headlee for Central Committee.

Why I'm Running

Delaware County is not the reliable Republican stronghold it once was. I’ve watched our elections become more and more competitive, and now I’m running for Central Committee because I want to use my skills and experiences to help our Republican candidates overcome the challenges of that new reality.

The future strength of the Republican Party will depend on our ability to win over young voters. I am passionate about bringing a new generation into our Republican fold by highlighting our shared values of limited government and personal liberty. Now more than ever, we must support strong Republican candidates who will carry wide appeal among our shifting electorate and be able to succeed in a changing political landscape.

I’ve worked on many hard-fought campaigns and helped candidates emerge victorious from tough races. I know what it takes to reach voters, build coalitions, and win elections. As the Delaware County Republicans look to the future, these skills will be critical for our continued success. We must have experienced campaign strategists involved with the party, and these are exactly the strengths I will bring to the Central Committee.

 

Read my full vision for the future

My name is Adam Headlee, and I’m running to represent our Concord A precinct on the Delaware County Republican Central Committee. The Central Committee is the main decision-making body for the Delaware County GOP – it is responsible for all party business, including candidate recruitment, endorsements, and campaign operations. The work the Central Committee does for the party is incredibly important, and I hope I can earn your support in the election on Tuesday, March 19.

I’ve lived on Duffy Road since 2001, and I’ve seen our community evolve as we’ve grown over time. More people are moving to our part of the state – in fact, the 2020 census showed that Delaware County is the fastest growing county in all of Ohio. As a byproduct of this growth, our elections are becoming more competitive. We have seen voting trends change rapidly in recent years, and Delaware County is no longer the reliable Republican stronghold it once was.

New job opportunities and the northward expansion of the Franklin County suburbs are bringing more and more young professionals into our neighborhoods. That growth is good, but it also presents us with a new political reality. 10 years ago, in 2014, Republican candidates were comfortably winning upwards of 70% of the vote here. By the 2022 general election, that number was closer to 55%.

The future strength of the Republican Party will depend on our ability to win over younger voters. I am passionate about bringing a new generation into our Republican fold by highlighting our shared values of limited government and personal liberty. Now more than ever, we must support strong Republican candidates who will be good public servants, represent our communities well, and overcome the challenges of running in this new political landscape.

I’m running for Central Committee because I want to be a part of the necessary response to these recent changes, and to bring the fresh perspective of a new generation to the Delaware County Republican Party. In our precinct alone, 1 out of every 4 registered voters is under the age of 40 – and among that group, more than 90% are unaffiliated. We have before us an incredible opportunity to expand the Republican coalition by welcoming this entire generation of young voters into our base. But in order to capitalize on this opportunity, we must have leaders in the Republican Party who understand how to identify and adapt to the shifting political and demographic trends now taking place. I will be that leader.

I’ve worked on numerous local and statewide campaigns, many of them highly competitive, and I know what it takes to reach voters and win elections. It may be tempting to write off all recent college graduates as die-hard liberals, but as in our own precinct, the truth is many of these Millennials and Gen Z’ers are independents, disenchanted with both parties. More importantly, I’ve seen firsthand that they have conservative views about the government at heart, and they deeply value their personal liberty. I want to spearhead the effort to reach out to these young voters with innovative messaging strategies and campaigns that highlight our shared values, bringing new faces into our Republican fold and stemming the tide against Delaware County’s recent trend towards the left.

I’m running to be your voice in that fight, and I humbly ask you for your vote in the Republican primary on Tuesday, March 19.

Adam Headlee


Who I Am

 

Read more about my experience

I’ve lived in Concord Township since 2001, and have been interested and involved in local public service for nearly my entire life.

Growing up, among other service activities, I participated in the Central Ohio CROP Hunger Walk and was consistently one of the top fundraisers in the Columbus area.

During high school I became involved with TeenPact Leadership Schools, a nationwide leadership program designed to help students understand the political process and embrace their call as the next generation of leaders.

I attended Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, known for its outstanding political science program. While at Wittenberg I had the honor of being selected to serve as a White House Intern in Washington, D.C. for a semester, where I researched education, workforce, and labor policy for the Domestic Policy Council.

After graduating summa cum laude from Wittenberg, I began my public service career as a Fellow in the Ohio Legislative Service Commission’s Legislative Fellowship Program, a paid internship offering outstanding college graduates the opportunity to gain professional experience in the legislative process through a hands-on introduction to the workings of Ohio’s state government.

After completing my fellowship, I served the Ohio House of Representatives as a Legislative Aide to Rep. Dave Greenspan (R-Westlake), and later to Rep. Adam Bird (R-New Richmond). Over the course of nearly four years working in the legislature, I was involved in the passage of 18 bills which are now Ohio law.

Following my career in the House, I was recruited to serve as Manager of State Government Affairs for Clean Fuels Ohio to provide a conservative perspective, and to use my extensive political knowledge and connections as the primary liaison between Clean Fuels Ohio and the executive and legislative branches of Ohio’s state government.

I’ve worked on several local and statewide campaigns, including two for Attorney General Dave Yost. Most recently, I served as the campaign manager for Mayor Laurie Jadwin’s (R-Gahanna) successful re-election campaign in a Democratic-leaning suburb, where we won 58% of the vote.

These are the skills and experiences I will bring to the Delaware County Republican Central Committee as we look to the 2024 elections and beyond. I hope I will have your support on Tuesday, March 19.
