Mesa County Republicans Turn Up Heat on Local Dems

If local Dems thought that their new chair could defeat the local GOP, they thought wrong. Lois Dunn and her Executive Board are meeting monthly at the new GOP headquarters at 2764 Compass Drive in the 2nd floor meeting room. ALL local Republicans should try to attend Board Meetings as frequently as possible. The next Board Meeting is on Tuesday July 12th at 5:30 pm.

While each party strives for dominance, the Mesa County GOP currently leads in public and media presence. Word on the street is that the local Dems are no-shows at the Farmers Market. Meanwhile, Mesa County Republicans and the Mesa County Republican Women keep a booth staffed each Thursday evening, rain or shine. Janet Blackman, 1st VP of Mesa County Republican Women has recently landed some high-profile special guests such as United States Congressman Tom Tancredo. Janet has also peppered the airwaves and print with PSAs for monthly luncheons to attract even more Republicans to participation in the GOP.

And Lois Dunn, local GOP chairwoman, has scored TV advertising on Fox, MSNBC, CNN and other outlets. Interested readers who like the TV message and want to help fund more may go to the party's website and print out a donation form to complete and send to the Mesa County Republicans with their check for at least $15. For the minimum $15 donation, donors receive a quarterly newsletter and access to the party's online resources and community. Those wishing to support TV and radio advertising, membership expansion, more effective communications, and Republican candidates will want to contribute generously.
