GOP News

The McIntosh County GOP has the monthly meeting scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 26, with a great lineup of speakers. The main speaker will be Tony Griffith, a J6er who spent more time than he would have liked – he and his son will be on hand to answer questions. Next up is our incumbent District #3 County Commissioner, Bobby Ziegler, who is running for re-election. If you have any questions for him, now would be the time to ask him. Last, but certainly not least, we have Ron Meinhardt who is running for U.S. Senate. Please come and visit, and prepare any comments you might have for them.

As always, everyone is welcome — children, Democrats, and even dogs (only service dogs please) and we will be serving light refreshments. Next month, we will have Will Webb to speak about the issues with Title IV and how they impact families. Also, if you are a newly registered voter, be watching for our Welcome Wagon to visit you with a swag bag of goodies.
