Reagan's running mate choice divides Cheyenne County Republicans
Reagan named Len Schweiker as his vice presidential pick, drawing swift criticism from local Republicans. Ed Narjes and state Sen Robert Clark warned the move damages Reagan’s credibility and risks eroding conservative support, with Clark switching to Ford. County GOP chair John Moore called the decision hard to assess, while several others favored Ford or suggested alternative candidates like Connally, Rockefeller, or Goldwater.
