GOP in the Valley

Well its been a while since I gave an update of what I have been doing. So here we go.

What a tremendous State Convention we had in Fargo. The enthusiasm was very high and we nominated a fantasic slate of Candidates. Brian Kalk is going to be our next Public Sevice Commissioner.

Since the completion of the state convention, we have been having district endorsing conventions throughout the state. We have some of the best candidates we have ever put forward in recent times. I really want to thank everyone that has stepped forward and made the commitment to their district and state.

At these endorsing conventions we are seeing huge turnouts. District 26 held their convention in Oaks and over 120 people showed to have dinner and endorse Nell Walstead, Jiggs Dyste, and Gary Schnell for the legislature. These are three teriffic candidates that will win.

In Mayville, District 20 endorsed Marty Johnson, Jake Holm and Larry O'Brien as their candidates. This is a truly diverse slate of candidates that bring knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to the ticket. A great crowd showed up for what is the first major Republican event in this district in far too long.

District 24 endorsed Dwight Grotberg, Jon Wager and Dwight Kiefert as their choice and a tightly packed room was very much ready to see a change in leadership. Earlier in the year they held a Lincoln Day dinner that had about 80 people present.

Up in District 16 we had a fantasitic crowd of 75plus present to endorse myself, Joe Miller, Phyllis Schindele, and Rep. Joyce Kingsbury. It was so much fun and thank to Brian Kalk for coming.

So as you can see the Party is really getting strong and there is a lot of excitment out there for Republicans. Democrats may have their millions in out-of-state money but we have real support where it counts!
