GOP News
By LYNELLE MARIE MEDLEY MCINTOSH COUNTY CHAIR

McIntosh GOP members have been busy planning an amazing schedule for all our citizens and we welcome those who wish to get involved. Everyone is invited to our meetings — that means Democrats and Republicans!

A quick side note before we get into all the events we have planned; we have a member who is hosting a Meet ‘n Greet complete with BBQ and fixins’ for candidate Paul Palmer who is running for House Representative in District 15. If you would like additional information regarding the date, time, and location, please text 918.617.6124.

April 18 will be our first meeting on our new schedule, it will be every third Thursday.

We are still working out details of our permanent home so location will be announced soon. Our speaker will be Amanda Dodson who will be discussing Oklahoma Department of Health and Human Services Child Protective Services.

In April we also have our first annual Golf Scramble, April 20, at Arrowhead, in which we will be offering over $10,000 in prizes! You can find our link to register at our Facebook page or you can text us to get these details.

In May (tentatively scheduled for May 11) look forward to a debate between candidates in our local and state races and this should be an exciting time, please plan to attend!

This event will be free to the public, please plan to come.

If you have a candidate who should participate please have them text us at 918-617-6124 or you may text us yourself.

We will round out the month of May with our regular county meeting on May 16th with mostly our local and state candidates speaking!
