Rally Right Backed 38 Precinct Winners

Rally Right, the conservative religious-politico group that was involved in the local Republican primaries this spring, endorsed 38 individuals (in 71 precincts) who who precinct committee elections ( see precinct voter guide here) — 17 of those individuals ran unopposed while 20 won contested races. 15 Rally Right candidates lost precinct elections. Final tally in contested races? Rally Right candidates won 20 of 36. Rally Right didn’t endorse in some races. And its candidates lost a handful of precinct races. I’ll have further breakdowns in a minute. Among the individuals who ran unopposed but didn’t get a Rally Right endorsement were: Donna Montgomery, Duane Rasmussen, Ron Nilson, Mike McDowell, Jim Brannon, Gary Ingram, Ruth E. Smith, and Bob Hollingsworth.

Question: Can it be said that Rally Right controls the local GOP Central Committee?
