Parini Announces Candidacy for Mass GOP Chair

November 11, 2026 · Sandwich, Massachusetts

Sandwich, MA — Gene J. Parini, Chairman of the Sandwich Republican Town Committee, a position he has held for four years, has announced his candidacy for Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party. A lifelong activist Republican, Parini is committed to rebuilding the state party and to re-establishing its presence both on Beacon Hill and in every city and town throughout the Commonwealth.

Gene J. Parini
The platform in six words

Unify. Finance. Communicate. Rebuild. Welcome. Win.

This will be a full-time position for Mr. Parini, who will bring an implementable action platform to the Mass GOP that can be summed up in six words.

  1. 1

    Unify

    Unity is critical to success. We will end the intraparty squabbles. Every State Committee member will be listened to and valued. Massachusetts Republicans deserve a state party that is unified, organized, active, responsive and focused on helping Republicans compete at every level. Our local committees, candidates, volunteers and activists are the foundation of the Massachusetts Republican Party. They deserve a state organization that listens to them, communicates with them and provides the tools needed to succeed.

  2. 2

    Finance

    Finance is a top priority. As Chairman, I will meet immediately with potential supporters and share the exciting new vision of our state party with them.

  3. 3

    Communicate

    Communicate to grow. Republicans throughout Massachusetts must know what their state party stands for, and that it’s living up to those standards. Actions do speak louder than words. Regular communication with State Committee members, local committees, candidates, activists and the press will become routine. We are all “ambassadors” for Common Sense.

  4. 4

    Rebuild

    Rebuild we must. My first action as Chairman will be to develop a workable strategic plan, with valuable input from our members and supporters. We will provide new tools, resources and professional assistance to the local committees, making them stronger.

  5. 5

    Welcome

    Welcome new members. We must and will reach out to younger voters, ethnic communities, unenrolled voters and those Republicans who’ve been sitting on the sidelines.

  6. 6

    Win

    Win. We will focus on winning elections.

“The rebuilding and the winning starts now.”
