National Committeeman

Dear Bernie, Christine and Bob:

Since a young man growing up in South Philadelphia, have fought vigorously for our party -
one that is defined by compassion, unity and inclusion. My love for the party is so strong, par-
tially inspired by President Ronald Reagan, that I have earned progressively higher positions in
the party becoming Chairman in 2017.

Together, we have accomplished so much to be proud of over the past two and a half years.
Together we have: shrunk the voter registration gap; elected three statewide judges; held the
two most successful fundraisers in state party history; quadrupled the membership of the
Young Republicans; maintained state legislative majorities in the face of ?blue
waves;? and, worked hard to recruit women and minorities for elected office.

It is with regret, after much thought and consideration, that I am resigning as Chairman of the
Republican Party of effective immediately. It has been the honor of my lifetime
to serve in this role. We have accomplished great things, maintained a strong state party,

contributed to the strength of our national party, and are poised to achieve great things in
2019 and 2020.

A recent media report contains gross mischaracterizations of mutual consensual communica-
tions between myself and a former primary candidate.

My resignation should in no way be confused as confirmation of these mischaracterizations. I
intend to rigorously defend myself against these assertions and protect my family, my col-
leagues, and the party from this private matter.

I extend my deepest apologies to my family and colleagues for this unfortunate distraction.

Sincerely,

Val DiGiorgio
