____________________________________________________________________________________
February 2, 2017 Dear State Central Committee Member: I want to thank you for all that you did to help our candidates during the 2016 election. We raised more money, had more staff on the ground, and worked more closely with our campaigns than ever before, but in the end it wasn’t quite enough to beat the other team. That means that now is the time to work even harder to identify, register and get ready to turn out Republican voters in 2018 so that we can turn Nevada red again. We’ve built a solid foundation, and we’re starting now to keep building our team and identify and register voters from now until the close of registration in 2018. We’re in the best position we’ve been in for many years to build our organization, and with all of your help we’ll turn Nevada red again! This is your official call to the Spring Meeting of the Nevada Republican Central Committee. Per our bylaws, we’ll be meeting in our state capital, Carson City, Nevada on March 18, 2017. The meeting will take place Saturday at the Carson Nugget, preceded by the rural caucus meeting and a welcome reception at the Gold Dust West on Friday. Enclosed are registration forms, lodging info and the proposed agenda. This information, as well as links to online registration, is also available online at our website, www.nevadagop.org. If you have any questions please email us at [email protected]. I look forward to seeing all of you on March 18th as we continue to build on the foundation we’ve laid to take back our state! God Bless, Michael J. McDonald Chairman, Nevada Republican Party Paid for by the Nevada Republican Party 500 S.
