Republican Rundown 4/7/21

REPUBLICAN RUNDOWN

April 7, 2021

Vol. 2, No. 2

CHAIRMAN'S CORNER: KEN RAYMOND

This last month has been fast and furious.  We have been looking at every aspect of the Party here in Forsyth County.  It is a massive undertaking, and we are investing the time to make sure we do things correctly and are making the local Party sustainable for years to come. If you are chomping at the bit to get involved just wait a little longer as there will be lots of exciting announcements soon. 

One little sneak peek - we hope that we will be able to announce a major restructuring of precinct organizations in the coming weeks.  We are not changing the duties or responsibilities of Precinct Chairs, however, we are creating a new structure.  This will allow for more interactions between Precinct Chairs and smaller groups to facilitate training.  To date, we have held two GOP Data Center training sessions and will be beginning our Precinct Organization Training including a revised precinct manual.  So, stay tuned.  Exciting and new things are coming.

Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] with any comments and/or concerns.

VICE CHAIRMAN'S CORNER: HAROLD EUSTACHE

Chairman Ken Raymond has asked me to Chair a Forsyth County Government Watch Committee.  Our focus will be to “watch” our local government in Forsyth County. The local government in our County has several moving pieces that directly impact the lives of the residents of Forsyth. Most notably, the Winston Salem City Council, the WSFCS Board, the Forsyth County Commissioners, the Forsyth County Board of Elections and many others. These boards vote on resolutions such as the reopening of schools, zoning and tax provisions, taking down historic monuments, and our election practices.

It is imperative that the Forsyth County GOP have a voice in these meetings. Many of these meetings are open for public comment. The radical left has had an organized presence at these meetings for years in order to push their agenda on the residents of Forsyth. In order for us to push back we also need to have an organized and constant presence at these meetings. This Government Watch committee will keep the Republican voters in Forsyth County informed about their government and hold the government accountable to the people of this County.

If you are interested in being part of this working group, please contact me at [email protected] and let’s talk about how you would like to participate.  We also have established a Facebook page where you will find updated information on the local board meetings.  LET US USE OUR VOICE!!!

6TH AND 10TH DISTRICT CONVENTIONS

Every year in April, the 13 Congressional Districts (CD) hold their conventions.  If you were a delegate to the Forsyth County Republican (FCGOP) Convention a month ago you are also a delegate to one of the CD Conventions being held in April depending on where you live in the county. 

The 10^th CD Convention will be this coming Saturday at 2:00 PM at Calvary Church Lake Norman, 110 Moose Club Road, Troutman, NC.  The 10^th is composed of Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, Yadkin, and part of Forsyth County. 

If you have not attended a Congressional District Convention, we urge you to do so.  It will give you an opportunity to meet people from around the District and to participate in deciding on the new officers for the Congressional District.
