Primaries Fire Up Republicans with November NEXT!
This week Michigan Republicans head to the polls to nominate OUR candidates to represent our party this November. We have had some tough fought primaries that if handle honorably; help us emerge stronger and better prepared to defeat the Democrats.
Don’t buy into cheap political tricks, dirty politics, negative ads and unsubstantiated charges to “fool” voters. Support whichever candidate you chose on their merits. Vote for the person who you believe will do the best job and don’t let the “bad guys” who abuse the public’s trust win!
As our nominees are selected Tuesday night…Republicans will have put forth one of the best field of candidates Michigan Republicans have seen in years. We’re motivated and ready to win!
National Conference of State Legislators
This week I attended the NCSL Conference in Louisville, KY. Thousands of legislators and staff from around the country attended. At the Republican luncheon former RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie gave an update and predicted some big wins for the GOP at the Congressional, Governor and Legislative levels.
His overall message was that Republicans were about to be given back “control of the pen” for budgets, taxes and reapportionment. A great opportunity and yes, responsibility.
RNC Meeting Next Week
Members of the Republican National Committee meet next week in Kansas City. Top on our agenda is the finalization of the rules process of the 2012 nominating process. I’ve shared with you the proposed rules and you can see the exact language here, on my blog:
