A Time to Act

The time has come to act.

Four years ago, Warren County Conservatives formed to represent the conservative voice in Warren County. Based on our experience working in local politics over the last four years, it has become apparent that our local Republican party faces significant challenges, ranging from unenthusiastic leadership with no plan or vision, to disenfranchised grassroots volunteers who feel like they do not have a voice in the party.

The good news is this can be fixed.

The Warren County Republican Party needs:

· A four-year plan with a cadence for each of the three upcoming elections

· Community outreach that pulls in a broad base of voters and strong candidates

· Fundraising events that reach a broad spectrum of Republican voters

· A platform based on conservative values that local Republican candidates can use as a differentiator.

The Republican Party Reorganization offers a singular opportunity for You to help to address all of these points.

The November local elections proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that if the GOP reorganization goes badly, we will regress as a party. It is the opinion of this organization that no Republican voice should be excluded or alienated from party business. Volunteers should be embraced with the enthusiasm that they bring to the cause.

Any actions to the contrary will result in apathy and Bowling Green/Warren County will lose key elected offices, specifically one or more conservative / moderate seats on the Bowling Green City Commission.

To accomplish this task, we need your help. Please plan to attend the party reorganization this Saturday on February 22 at the Knicely Conference Center, 2355 Nashville Road. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Bring your friends, neighbors and family. Everyone who is a registered Republican as of Oct 1 2024 should attend.

Also, consider serving as a Precinct officer, Vice chair, or Youth officer, as only these positions are eligible to cast votes regarding party business for the next four years.

More information on precinct officers can be found here.

Our community needs a healthy, active and united party to be successful. That means we need you.
