County GOP News
By LYNELLE MEDLEY CHAIRMAN

McIntosh County GOP members have worked hard to help get Bryan Logan over the finish line and this past week we can finally say he is our Republican nominee for Senate District 8 to fill Senator Thompson’s vacated seat.

We thank all of you who have participated whether it be by knocking doors, putting out signs, telling people about him, stuffing envelopes, donating, and the other myriad of activities that must be undertaken for a successful campaign. On May 13 we will have one last election, which will be the general election between Bryan Logan and his Democrat and Independent opponents.

PLEASE VOTE ON MAY 13!

Our meeting this month will be at the VFW on the fourth Thursday, which is April 24, at 6:30 PM.

We will have the honorable Sherrie Foister Conley in our neighborhood to speak to us about a hot (but disturbing) topic. We are preparing to kick off our annual AR giveaway so be watching for that announcement.

We are also planning our annual Patriot Retreat, which brings in patriots from all over the state of Oklahoma to our awesome county — they will be spending the weekend learning, networking, and of course having a great time together.

We have unveiled the results of the Freedom Brigades Environmental Impact Study project at our last meeting and will be posting details soon on our Facebook page as well as the Freedom Brigades FB page, we are super excited about this project!

For details on any of the above or if you have questions, please text us at 918-6176124.

Looking forward to seeing you at the end of the month!
