The Real Price of Influence: WCC PAC Spent Nearly $60K to Hijack the Williamson GOP — But Voters Said No

WCC PAC spent nearly $60K to hijack the Williamson GOP with help from developers, out-of-town consultants, and a $6000 bar tab. Voters weren’t buying it.

When rumors started swirling that the Williamson County Conservatives PAC (WCC PAC) possibly spent upwards of six figures to hijack the March 2025 Republican reorganization convention, some dismissed the talk as exaggerated.

And for good reason, if you have the proper context.

Historically, county party reorganization efforts in Tennessee have been modest affairs — with campaigns spending a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars on materials like push cards, nametags, sticker handouts, or even some individually wrapped cookies for attendees. It’s a grassroots tradition rooted in neighbor-to-neighbor politics.

But what happened in Williamson County in 2025 wasn’t tradition. It was an attempted hostile takeover on steroids.
