County GOP News
By LYNELLE MEDLEY CHAIRMAN

We are excited to announce that the Mc-Intosh GOP County Committee recently met and voted by unanimous acclamation to endorse Monty Grider for re-election of McIntosh County Commissioner, District #2!

If you need a sign, please reach out and we will get one to you ASAP.

Grider and his campaign team will be knocking on doors starting this week so be watching for them.

We would love to host a debate, if you would like to see them come together to answer questions for the public, please reach out to Monty and/or his opponent.

McIntosh County GOP members are firm believers in candidate debates as a way for the people to make more informed decisions.

Also, as you most likely know the Republican National Convention is now behind us and Donald J Trump is officially our presidential nominee with Senator J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential nominee.

We have many Oklahoma patriots who were present to represent Oklahoma at the convention for the four exciting days of speeches and motions – for many it was their first trip to the RNC and I would say for most it was the experience of a lifetime.

We will be working on getting Trump signs and will let you know when they arrive.

We have missed all of you, but we are working on some exciting things.

We are researching hosting a boat parade, possibly a Trump drive, and we will have our annual Patriot Retreat first weekend in October.

We will update you as the information becomes available.

If you have any information on any of the above activities, please text us at 918-617-6124 or email us at McIntoshGOP@ gmail.com.

Thank you to all the McIntosh County citizens who contribute to our efforts – if you ever have any feedback, please reach out.

See you again in October!
