Andrew Reilly, Delaware County’s Republican chairman, will helm the Southeast Pennsylvania Republican Caucus, writes Kathleen Carey for the Daily Times.

Reilly was unanimously elected to the position, which he will assume on Dec. 1.

“My present intent is to meet with the district and municipal GOP leaders and hopefully transition to new leadership for the Delaware County GOP,” said Reilly. “I’ll still be the GOP leader of Middletown, and I’ll work with whomever the committee people select.”

No news of his successor has yet emerged.

Reilly believes there were several reasons that influenced the latest election that saw four state seats in Delaware County, as well as and the U.S. Congressional seat, go Democrat.

However, he still believes the GOP can gain ground and win races again.

“My advice is you go back to basics,” he said. “Those are the things you need to do going forward: Focus on the local races next year; hopefully, convince the White House to have a suburban message; redraw the congressional lines fairly so they have competitive races.”
