The key is all of you do-ing all you can to con-vince your family, friends and neighbors how critical it is to vote and why voting Republi-can in Porter County makes all the difference. Success is driven by ac-tive voters, please do all you can to ensure our voters vote.

Michael Simpson, Chairman Porter County Republicans

ful statement about our

inclusiveness as a political

party. Another note of in-

terest, our State Auditor,

Tera, is the first CPA to

hold that office. An amaz-

ing factoid.

As we gear up for this elec-

tion season I remind you

that there are many, many

activities and campaigns

that need people. Please

give us some of your valua-

ble to time and come to the

county fair or walk in one

of the many parades.

Volunteers are the back-

bone of our party and you

are needed more than ever.

Our success this year will

be because of our activism

HEADQUARTERS

.Fellow Republicans –

As I write this article sum-

mer is here and election

season is truly upon us. At

the Republican Conven-

tion a couple of weeks ago

our delegates chose Indi-

ana Secretary of State Con-

nie Lawson as our candi-

date for Indiana Secretary

of State; Indiana State

Treasure Kelly Mitchell as

our candidate for Indiana

State Treasurer and Indi-

ana State Auditor Tera

Klutz as our candidate for

Indiana State Auditor.

What’s truly amazing

about this, is we have three

exceptional women leaders

in office and all were cho-

sen to run again. A power-

We must improve our turn-out in November to assure a Republican

Victory in Porter County!
