Executive Committee Chairman
In less than three years, our Party has seen a major transformation in the political landscape of Lorain County. This is due to the hard work of our leadership, donors, candidates and volunteers who have connected with voters throughout the county.
Republicans went from one countywide elected position in 2020 to five in 2023, and we aren’t done yet. Had we had had candidates for the other county offices, it’s possible we would have won those as well. Looking to 2024, we already have candidates for several county offices as well as our incumbents seeking reelection. The days of Democrats running unopposed are over.
A major transformation took place last year that made it possible to win the third county commission seat. Republicans narrowed the gap with Democrats countywide. Prior to the 2022 primary, we had 17,069 Republicans versus, 30,832 Democrats. After the primary there were 32,360 Republicans and 32,766 Democrats a difference of only 406 voters.
Republicans are a Big Tent party with many different groups and viewpoints. Despite these differences, we need to remain united in order to help our candidates win election. Equally important is to grow the number of Republican voters by reaching out to Independent and Democrat voters whose party has left them. We need to communicate our values and principles to them and make them welcome in our party. If we do so, we can expect to win more elections in Lorain County, Ohio, and the United States of America.
Happy First Day of Spring!
We’re just three weeks away from the beginning of Early Voting, Tuesday April 4. Also, on April 13th is the annual Lincoln Day Dinner and now available, a VIP Meet n Greet. More details are on our website and Facebook page so please make your reservations ASAP by clicking here and before March 31.
Once again our party was active with several important activities this past week. Elyria Area Chairman Jeff Baxter met at GOP HQ with his candidates for Mayor, clerk of courts, and city council. Also at HQ Saturday, our Party held part 2 of our candidates school. Jason Hadchiti of the Board of Elections provided financial training using the online resources on the Secretary of State’s website. In the last hour, The Eisen Agency CEO Rodger Roeser provided training on campaign marketing and social media necessities. Both sessions were most valuable and informative and will be offered again next year. Also Saturday, the monthly meeting of our HISPANOSUNIDOSGOP was held.
This week there will be more opportunities to be involved. Tuesday, the Lorain-Sheffield Republican club meets at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion. Wednesday, the YR’s meet at our HQ, also at 6:30 p.m. And, Thursday, the new chapter of the Republican Women’s Club meets at 6:00 p.m.at the Lorain Public Library. Please check our Lorain County Republican Party Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter pages for the latest events going forward.
Our HQ phone number is 440-204-9918 if you need more information. Have a great week. Enjoy the warmer spring weather!
