President's Message from Pauline Ng Lee, Esq. |
Happy Birthday USA! Break out the American flags, fireworks and the hotdogs as we celebrate our country's 250th birthday! My family is celebrating by watching Netflix's The American Experiment, Thomas Jefferson and Young Washington in theaters. What movies are you watching? (Reply to president@nevadarepublicanclub.com)
Many of our candidates will be marching in July 4th parades in Boulder City and/or Summerlin. If you wish to join them in this festive celebration, be sure to contact them in advance (see below for Carrie Buck's Boulder City parade information).
Congratulations to all of our primary candidates! Primary season is over and I, for one, am glad that we once again have an opportunity to unite together as Conservatives. Undoubtedly, much of the rhetoric was quite spicy between candidates on our side of the aisle but we need to get over our differences and be reminded that we agree on at least 80% over issues and stick together for the upcoming fight in November. In the words of Crosby, Stills & Nash, "if you can't be with the one that you love, love the one you're with."
On the Judicial candidate front, the Third Branch PAC announced their successful endorsements in the Primary Election 2026. In 2 of the 8 primary races, the Third Branch PAC endorsed candidate won more than 50% of the vote and they have won their race. Barbara Schifilacqua retained her seat in Henderson Justice Court and Adam Ganz has been elected as our new District Court Judge in Department 13!
The following endorsed candidates all made the primary run off and they will continue onto the General Election: Mary Perry, John Cory, Alicia Albritton, Allycia Murphy, Amanda Pellizarri. We wish all of these candidates good luck in the General!
We welcome aboard to our team two hard-working and experienced volunteers: Heather Florian has been appointed as our Deputy Political Director to assist 1st Vice President Alan Hedrick, and Ellen Bramble has been appointed as our Deputy Communications Director to assist Director of Communications Bette Schanafelt. Please give them both a warm welcome!
Please note that we have some cool events for you to attend this hot July! Hope to see you at them! Stay cool and see you at the luncheon.
