Grigajtis who, along with Hodgers, were the youngest party leaders also cited what he felt was a generational divide on some issues that made it hard for younger Republicans in a party mostly populated by older adults.
In particular: a recent fight over a list of LGBTQ guidelines issued by the Brevard County School District. It s not an issue I m concerned with, but they were clearly very concerned with it, Grigajtis said. No one is concerned about the (municipal) elections? No one is talking about the gun control measures or the debt problem that is spiraling out of control?
Hodgers said she wrote to party leaders, asking for a statement from the board condemning the actions of the protestors. She heard nothing back, she said.
Some leaders of the Brevard Republican Executive Committee expressed concerns Friday about holding in-person meetings this month after at least one contracted COVID-19 following February s executive board meeting.
District 4 Chair Susan Hodgers said she was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Feb. 14, four days after the February general meeting of BREC and six days after a meeting of its executive board. I was just really tired on that Friday, Hodgers said. On Sunday, what made me to go to urgent care was I lost my sense of taste and smell.
Subsequent tests confirmed she was positive for COVID-19, she said. (I was) extremely fatigued, severe headache and a little bit of brain fog, Hodgers said of the next few days. She received IV treatment, but was not otherwise hospitalized. I have a history of asthma, so I get very nervous, she said.
