Monthly News & Updates

MAY 3, 2024

HAPPY MAY!

With a month to go until the filing deadline of June 3rd, our team has been contacting each precinct man and woman to provide information and the filing form for this election cycle.

Johnson County has more than 600 precincts and needs a man and woman to serve as the neighborhood Republican leader in each of them. Precinct Committee men and women are the foundation of our Party. They help us distribute information about elections, candidates, and current issues to Republicans, and often Independents, in their precincts. They are our warriors in our GOTV (Get Out the Vote) strategy. They vote for Party leadership, electing the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, as well as delegates to the 3rd district.

In the event of an unplanned vacancy in a Republican elected seat, the precinct people vote for who will fill the seat for the remainder of the term. The Precinct Committee position is vitally important! In many states, these are coveted positions that result in robust competition during the election cycle. If you want to make a difference in your local Party, you can file here.

If you would like more information about the responsibilities of a precinct man or woman or if you need help with filing, please email secretary@jcrpks.org.

We will have a Super Saturday on June 8th. We'll meet at the JCRP office, hear from some of our candidates, then spread out to some key precincts to help our candidates. Stay tuned for more details. Meanwhile, check the list of dates for May events. We have a LOT going on this month!

See you soon!

LET'S GOTV!

Get Out The Vote

Last year we learned the power of voter guides. Senior living facilities and gated communities are often nearly impossible to enter to share information. A mailer to these Republican voters is vital. Help us prepare to reach voters that might otherwise be overlooked! You can donate to this cause by clicking on the link below.

Please Note: Zero, not one single penny, goes to the RNC. Moreover, the RNC does not fund the JCRP in any way. Every dime we take in is carefully spent to help candidates right here in Johnson County. Thank you for giving!

Biblical Citizenship Class Begins Next Week

Wednesday, May 8th, will be the first of an eight-week Biblical Citizenship course. According to the Patriot Academy website, "Now, more than ever, our nation is in need of Biblical citizens who grasp the dynamic unity of citizens of the Kingdom of God and citizens of this great nation!

This course offers a quick-start guide to the longest-standing Constitution in history, complete with an overview of all the Articles and Amendments. What sets this apart from other U.S. Constitution courses is the interactive, fast-paced presentations; the fabulous locations of Independence Hall and the WallBuilders Library; and, finally, our Biblical heritage intricately woven throughout the entire course!"

Our own Rose Gerringer will be the instructor. Learn more about the course, class dates, and how to register here. This class will be held at the JCRP office.
