LEADERSHIP

Our leadership team for the Wayne 12th Congressional District Republican Committee is elected with each new election cycle. The committee consists of a 4 member executive team, 15 member district committee team, and 12 Wayne County Republican Committee. Our committee also allows for new members via participation requirements.

Below are the executive leaders elected for the 2023-2024 cycle.

CHAIR

Paula Gnacke

I am a mother of 3 and Nani to 2 granddaughters. I first got the political bug working on David Dudenhoefer's Congressional campaign in 2020. In 2021, I became a Precinct Delegate, a delegate to State Convention and a member of the WCRC. I served as the district secretary and both temporary and permanent secretaries for all 3 County Conventions in 2022 under the leadership of Jodie Brown. It is an honor to serve as the Chair of the Wayne 12th CDRC. I'm hopeful for the future with all of the amazing delegates that we have.

TREASURER

Robin Schuetz

I am a Christian conservative, wife and mother. I was first elected precinct delegate in 2016 and have continued to hold the seat since. I was an executive member of WCRC and Wayne 11th CDRC.  I served as treasurer for Wayne 11th CDRC and also for local school board candidates. I like camping, spending time outdoors, reading and being with family and friends. I’m optimistic that we will do great things together and look forward to working with you.

SECRETARY

Beth Sly

I am a full time professional Realtor and Conservative Patriot. I grew up in Melvindale but currently live in Livonia and have 6 children and 2 grandkids. My husband Jeff and I were married in 1999. We have 2 rescue dogs, Frankie and Mollie. We enjoy camping and target shooting.

I was elected as a Precinct Delegate in 2022 and served as an Election Inspector and Poll Challenger for the 2022 elections. During the last election cycle, I knocked on doors in my precinct to support the Republican candidates on the ballot. I'm looking forward to doing great things with the delegates of the Wayne 12th.
