The Hamilton County Republican Party’s newly elected officers passed a resolution this week alleging a failed transition of power from the previous party leadership.
The document is titled “Resolution Documenting Transition Failures Following the March 1, 2025 HCGOP Reorganization” and alleges that party officers under former Chair Mark Harrison did not turn over documents including minutes and reports, third-party contracts, invoices, donor lists, state and U.S. government correspondence and tax documents, to the new chair, Gail Greene.
Another clause in the resolution cites an email exchange from Greene to Harrison that “has not been satisfactorily answered,” according to the document. The email requested a paper trail of executive action, contracts, invoices, financial documents and all correspondences via letter, text or email involving the county GOP, along with email correspondence using the official party email account under Harrison’s term.
The resolution passed Monday said Harrison failed to meet a March 28 deadline for Greene’s requested information.
The dispute stems from a heated takeover of the county GOP by members of a group led by Greene called “Activate Hamilton” at a party convention on March 1. Greene and her board have referred to the change as a departure from “the establishment” and have taken an activist turn in advocating for and against GOP-sponsored legislation, something previous party leadership has viewed as outside the party’s role.
