GOP state convention: ‘No major changes’ to platform

The Oregon Republican Party held their biennial state convention this weekend, but the nine committees made only minor changes to the state party’s platform.

In an interview with PolitickerOR.com, ORP spokesperson Brianne Hyder said there were “no major changes to the Oregon Republican Party’s platform,” though there were “a few words here and there.” Hyder noted that more information regarding the changes would be released within the next few days.

Overshadowing the platform changes was the keynote speech by Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate spoke at Friday evening’s convention banquet. The speech was “very inspiring to the crowd,” said Hyder, but noted Romney’s visit was abrupt.
