The Olmstead County GOP passed a “no confidence” resolution against CD1 GOP Chair Aaron Farris on Thursday night. Many sources say that Farris was also trying to get Wendy Phillips removed from her position on the Olmstead County GOP executive committee after facilitating her ousting from the state executive committee. In a sharp rebuke, the BPOU said that they stand with Phillips.

Farris, a paid staffer for Congressman Brad Finstad, has come under fire for taking directions from GOP Chair Dave Hann. In a vindictive move, Hann and Farris called for CD 1 Executive Committee member Wendy Phillips to be removed from the board for her role in the Otter Tail County debacle.

After the State Party canceled the Otter Tail County BPOU’s convention, Wendy stepped up to lead the convention herself. As she soon found out, standing up to the establishment comes with consequences.

Thankfully, there are those in the grassroots movement that are standing up for Wendy. The “no confidence” resolution (pictured below) is a scathing rebuke of Farris and his leadership.

While there is no binding effect to this resolution from the congressional district's largest BPOU, it is a huge slap in the face to party leadership who stood against the Otter Tail County delegates.
