Today is the 85th day since the 2021-22 Pima County Republican Board was elected. We had our second Executive Committee meeting on March 11, and the room was electric. We are ahead of last year in our Trunk and Tusk memberships, and our first Border Tour with Sheriffs Mark Dannels and Mark Lamb is sold out for March 26. Our Lincoln Day dinner is scheduled for October 23, 2021, our April 24 Candidate School has amazing NATIONAL SPEAKERS on campaigning, and events are scheduled monthly from now through December.
The volunteer program at the Headquarters Office is up and running, and we are scheduling morning and afternoon volunteers Monday-Friday and have already scheduled through May 1. We are starting a Citizen Journalist program to combat the fake news (or no news) in Pima County. The Voter Registration drives are being planned, and we are closely monitoring voter registration numbers. AND, we hit our 500th Precinct Committeeman! This means we have recruited and on-boarded 153 Precinct Committeemen. We are offering PC training at our Headquarters and transitioning the training to the Legislative Districts. Some of our LDs have done such an amazing job training their PCs, we benchmarked from their ideas! Our Legislative Districts are building programs and opportunities for their PCs—movies, speakers, and events. We are doing this to build and unify our party and to elect Republicans.
And now for the GREAT news…Congressman Ann Kirkpatrick is not running for election in 2022. This will be an open seat, and with redistricting we will take that seat back in 2022.
The Pima County Democrat Representatives/Senators are supporting Pamela Powers-Hannley’s vote supporting soft sentencing of child sex predators and staying silent in their support for disgraced Andrew Cuomo. We will take back our Legislative seats in Pima County. More than 50% of the country does not believe that Biden can unify the country—he can’t. And that failure is an opportunity for Republicans. You see what has happened in two-and-a-half months; let’s see what we can do in two years. Let’s get to work and win; let’s elect Republicans!
