Sumter County Continues To Lead!

Thanks to you, participation in our local Republican activities is at an all time high. This is a result of the Sumter County REC, Republican club officers, club members, and elected officials working together to build a strong Republican base in Sumter County. We are having a major impact on national, state, and local contests and issues. We continue to lead the state in voter turnout and voter registration growth. This is putting us in the enviable position of having more speakers wanting to visit us than we have available times at our clubs. We are an important stop on the campaign trail for many candidates.
The race for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Florida is underway. Our task of retiring Bill Nelson should prove every bit as interesting as the Presidential race. The county election process has started as well. We have some excellent Republican candidates for the contested races of Property Appraiser and Tax Collector. Attracting strong candidates like these assures us of continuing our leadership position in the county.
Our Lincoln Day Dinner is scheduled for Saturday, April 28th. This is the sole fund raising event for the Sumter County REC. Pam Bondi, Florida’s popular Attorney General, will be our Keynote speaker and Congressman Rich Nugent will give us an update on his work in Washington, DC. Many of our state and local elected officials will be in attendance as well. Please plan on attending and bring your friends and neighbors. This is always a great event and I hope to see you there.
Thanks for your continuing support, together we can make a difference!
